These tests found that the bronze fitting of the largest belt plaque was made from a tin-lead-bronze alloy in which no modern components of any kind could be detected. Conversely, it was also found that the sample contains trace elements that are typical of ancient metal alloys. The report concludes that the tests found absolutely no evidence of modern manufacture of the present lot.

(13)Khotan in the Tarim basin had rich jade stores during the Tang dynasty. The jade was fashioned into ornaments such as women’s comb tops and decorative plaques for belts worn by senior officials.

The jade plaques in this set are carved in high relief with images of animals and mythical beasts.Literature comparison: Compare a related set of ten decorative belt plaques, dated to the Tang dynasty, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1992.165.22a–j.

An early 19th Century 'bells in sight' cylinder music box, by B.H. Abrahams, St Croix, the 16cms cylinder playing ten-aires on a single steel comb and three bells, in a box with aires card in the base and reg no. 8420, the mahogany case with iron handles, the lid reversing with mechanism sitting on top of the box, 35cms wide.
A WW1 era enlisted man’s Pickelhaube, fitted with the Prussian badge to the front. Usual leather skull, neck guard, and peak, the latter with metal edging. Painted national cockade to one side, but the left hand one missing. Removable ball finial to the crown, plus the usual vented comb to the rear section. Complete with 9 tongue leather liner, and leather cord drawstring. Unusually, the Prussian badge is held in place on the inside by a small strip of leather, which is almost certainly a later repair. No apparent dates or manufacturer marks. The helmet has a short leather chinstrap, which would appear to be of the same era as the helmet. Condition: fair. The helmet overall retains a good shape, but the surface has ‘jellified’ to one side, where the lacquer has degraded, leaving a rough texture. The badge and ball finial have darkened with age and use, and the one remaining cockade has a little paint loss. There are stitching faults to the neck guard, and there is some movement and separation in this area. The leather liner is a little dry in places, but seems to be complete. The inner edge of the metal edging on the peak is a little clipped and corroded in places.
An early 20th century dark blue cloth, Home Service Pattern officers helmet, fitted with a fine and scarce gilt, enamel and silvered helmet plate for the Notts & Derby Regiment (Sherwood Foresters). Once the property of Captain Edward Nathaniel Drury-Lowe (1888-1948). Accompanying the helmet is a period photograph of 2nd Lt Drury-Lowe (as was his rank at the time), and he can be seen holding the very helmet offered in this lot. It’s known from contemporary records that 2nd Lt Drury-Lowe attested in March 1908, and it seems likely that this photograph and helmet would date from this era. The helmet plate is of a pattern used from circa 1902-1914. The helmet is complete with its rosette hooks to each side, onto which is fitted the chain chin strap. The quatrefoil mount is present to the crown, but it is missing its spike. The aforementioned mount is held in place by 4 of the correct type of screw on washers. The interior retains its leather sweatband and cloth lining, but the latter has come away from the leather band. A label to the inside gives the makers marks as ‘A&NCSL London’, for the Army & Navy Co-operative Society Ltd. Notes: Drury-Lowe had attained the rank of Captain by 1914, and earned the 1914 with Mons Clasp (see separate lot). He spent the majority of the war as a prisoner of war in a German camp. Condition: the helmet would appear to be structurally sound, but it is a little ‘out of round’. It displays well on a shaped head, but when removed it shrinks back somewhat and has a narrowed look (see image 14). The helmet plate is good, with just normal dulling to the gilt parts, and some tarnishing to the silvered areas. The enamel backing is also in good order. The velvet backed chin strap is complete, although any former gilt finish has gone, leaving the now brown tarnished brass base metal. The cloth external covering is good, and is free from any moth damage or tears. The brass comb to the back section stands proud of the helmet, and there is a slight kink to the metal. The lift is also likely due to some age related shrinkage. There is also a brass stud missing to this brass comb at the neck guard area. As noted above, part of the cloth lining has come away from the leather sweat band. There is some cracking to the lining on the neck guard area, but this does not affect the structural integrity of the helmet. There is a small crack to the brass edging near to where the peak comes to a point.
A WW1 enlisted man’s Saxony Pickelhaube. Usual stitched leather skull, neck guard and peak, the latter with metal edging. Fitted with the painted national cockade to the right hand side, and the Saxon cockade to the left side - both cockades have rounded edges, rather then the usual serrated edge, a feature common to Saxony helmets. White metal Saxony badge applied to the front of the skull piece, and a removable spike attachment to the crown. Vented comb running from the crown to the edge of the neck piece. 10 tongue leather liner, with leather cord drawstring. Embossed with the number 18 to the inner side of the neck guard, plus ‘109R’. The chin strap is absent. Condition: generally very good for its age and use. Some cracking / crazing to the lacquered finish of the leather, on the skull, peak, and neck guard. The metal fittings have toned down with age, and show a normal level of wear commensurate with age. Both cockades have some paint losses, but this doesn’t detract. The liner is complete, and has a small stitching fault towards the back section.
