A FINE GERMAN SPORTING CROSSBOW SIGNED BY THE MAKER HGA, LATE 16TH CENTURY with steel bow stamped with a mark on one side (Neue Stockel 5217), etched on the upper and lower edges with ropework, on the outer face with a running band of anthemion, and on the inside with elaborate patterns of scrolling foliage with differing flowers and fruit inhabited by a butterfly and birds-of-prey, fitted with later string and retained by later cords, tiller veneered with large ebonised panels on each side and contrasting panels of staghorn top and bottom, with raised cheek-piece on one side, signed with the maker's initials HSA on a staghorn panel at the front, fitted with later stirrup, a pair of lugs for a cranequin, long slender trigger and an additional later modified trigger, later fore-sight, and bone nut (basal cap missing, small losses) 57.0 cm; 22 in tiller It would appear that this bow was modified with the second trigger, fore-sight and probably a back-sight (now missing) in the 18th Century. Another bow stamped with the same mark is preserved in the Museum Fur Deutsche Geschichte, Berlin and another in the Armoury at Skokloster.

A HIGHLY RARE AND IMPORTANT ENGLISH JACK OF PLATE, CIRCA 1580-90 formed of small overlapping square plates of iron with cropped corners, secured by lines of diagonal, vertical, or in some cases horizontal stitches of crossbow twine through holes at their centres between the inner and outer layers of a fabric doublet of 'peascod' fashion with a frontal opening situated slightly to the right of centre and originally closed by laces passing through pairs of reinforced holes, an upstanding collar devoid, like the edges of the arm-openings, of plates, and a short skirt, the whole enclosed between two outer layers of fine linen canvas overlying felted woven wool on the outside and a coarser canvas on the inside of the garment, and decorated with green (perhaps originally white) woollen tufts at the intersections of the stitches (the outer fabric discoloured, worn through at points and split at the shoulders and some points of the waist and the base of the collar) 75.5 cm; 29¾ in Provenance Sir William ffarindon, Worden Hall, Lancashire (sold by auction 1948) A private English collection Literature Alexander de Cosson & William Burgess, 'Catalogue of the Exhibition of Ancient Helmets and Examples of Mail', Archaeological Journal, Vol. XXXVII, 1881, p. 591 Ian Eaves, 'On the Remains of a Jack of Plate Excavated from Beeston Castle in Cheshire', Journal of the Arms and Armour Society, Vo. XIII, no. 2, September 1989, p. 137, n. 29) The jack of plate - sometimes referred to in contemporary documents as a 'steel coat', a 'plate coat' or a 'coat of plate' - was a uniquely British defence first recognisably mentioned in English and Scottish records of the second quarter of the 16th century (Eaves 1989, pp. 85-6 & 144, n. 48), p. 145, n. 52). The inventory of the holdings of the Office of the Armouries taken on the death of Henry VIII in 1547 mentions 'a Northerne Jack covered with lynnen' and three 'Northern Jackes made of Canvas and plate' (Harold A. Dillon, 'Arms and Armour at Westminster, the Tower and Greenwich', Archaeologia, Vol. LI, 1888, pp. 52 & 57). Although defences of this kind ceased to be manufactured towards the end of the 16th century (Eaves 1989, p.86 & 148, n. 60), their use persisted into the early years of the following century. In 1622 some forty examples were issued from the Armouries of the Tower of London for use in America by the Virginia Company (Eaves 1986, p. 86 & 148, n. 61). William Harrison in his description of England first published in 1577, observed that 'Our armour …consisteth of corselets, almaine riverets, shirtes of mayle, Jacke quilted over wyth leather, fustian or canuas ouer thicke plates of yron that are sewed into the same, and of which there is no towne or village that hath not hir conuenient furniture (in Ralph Holinshead, The First Volume of the Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland, London, 1557, f. 86v). Today, however, only sixteen more or less complete jacks of plate are preserved worldwide. Aside from this and the following lot, eight (only five of which are complete) can be recorded in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, one in the British Museum, London, one in the Royal Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh, one in Warwick Castle, Warwickshire, one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, one in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg, and one in the Schweizerisches Landesmuseum, Zurich (Eaves 1989, pp. 135-7, n. 22-6 & 29). Only the last two and one of those in Leeds has its frontal opening offset to one side of centre as on this and the following lot. These lots and the Leeds example formed part of a collection assembled at Worden Hall, Lancashire, by Sir William ffarington (c. 1704-81) sometime after 1765. They are unlikely to have formed part of the Hall's indigenous armoury which was sequestered by Parliament in 1643 (Susan Maria ffarington, The ffarington Papers, Chetham Society, 1856, p. 93), although it was said that one of the three did service, together with a helmet and other pieces, as part of a funeral achievement eventually removed from the ffarington Chapel in Leyland Church in 1816 (De Cosson & Burgess 1881, p. 591). The collection was in due course added to by Miss Susan ffarington in the 19th century. An 18th century inventory of it is preserved in New Zealand while three 19th century ones, dating from 1846 to circa 1870 are privately preserved in England, and refer to '3 Brigandine Jackets (for Bowmen. (Elizn'. A drawing of what is almost certainly one of these jacks is preserved in a manuscript catalogue prepared by the late 18th century Manchester antiquary Thomas Barritt and now preserved in the Manchester City Library (Ancient Armour and Weapons in the Possession of Thos Barrit 1793). The catalogue shows objects both in his own collection and of others that he visited in the north of England. He describes the jack as 'A Bigantine jacket quilted within with square pieces of iron about an inch in diameter and sliding over each other like the scales of fishes, and covered over with strong linen'. One of the Worden jacks (probably that now in the Royal Armouries Museum, inv. No. III.1884) was lent by Miss ffarington to the Exhibition of Ancient Helmets and Examples of Mail held in the rooms of the British Archaeological Association in 1881 (De Cosson & Burgess 1881, cat. no. 49, p.591) The collection was sold by a local auctioneer in 1948. The purchaser of the three jacks subsequently lent them to Rufford Old Hall, Lancashire. One of them in due course passed to a private collection in the USA but was in 1982 acquired by the Royal Armouries, H.M. Tower of London, while those forming the present and following lots had from some time before 1981 been sent for conservation to the North Western Museum and Art Gallery Service at Blackburn, Lancashire.

TWO HIGHLY RARE AND IMPORTANT ENGLISH PLATESLEEVES, CIRCA 1580-90 deriving from the same series as one another and formed in each case of widely separated columns of long, narrow, overlapping rectangular plates of iron with cropped corners, secured by lines of vertical and horizontal stitches of crossbow twine through holes at their centres between the inner and outer layers of a voluminous fabric sleeve that is slightly shaped to the elbow and narrows to the wrist where a longitudinal slit was originally closed by a lace passing through a single reinforced hole at each side, the upper edge of the sleeve pierced at its outside with pairs of similar holes to lace it to an underlying garment (the outer fabric discoloured, worn through and split at points; both covered over where required by nylon netting) left 59.5 cm; 23½ in; right 63.0 cm; 24¾ in (2) Provenance Sir William ffarindon, Worden Hall, Lancashire (sold by auction 1948) A private English collection Literature Alexander de Cosson & William Burgess, 'Catalogue of the Exhibition of Ancient Helmets and Examples of Mail', Archaeological Journal, Vol. XXXVII, 1881, p.591, fig. 220 Ian Eaves, 'On the Remains of a Jack of Plate Excavated from Beeston Castle in Cheshire', Journal of the Arms and Armour Society, Vo. XIII, no. 2, September 1989, pp. 88-9 & 150, n. 68, pl. XLIB The wearing of platesleeves - sometimes referred to in contemporary documents as a 'sleeves of plate' or 'sleeves of metal' - in conjunction with the jack of plate is mentioned in English and Scottish records of the second quarter of the 16th century to the first quarter of the 17th century (Eaves 1989, pp. 88 & 150, n. 66-8). A report sent to the Venetian Senate in 1577 observed that the English wore jacks, shirts of mail or quilted canvas doublets with no defences for their arms other than 'plates of mail put lengthways' (Calendar of State Papers, Venetian, Vol. VI (1556-7). p. 1048). It is perhaps defences of this kind that are referred to in the accounts of the Armouries Office for 1560 which mention the costs of fourteen pairs of sleeves made of old gorgets (National Archives, Kew, Pipe Office Declared Accounts 2962, f. 7). References to platesleeves occur with particular frequency in Scottish and Northern English documents of the period. For example, a Scottish order relating to the raising of troops for a campaign in France in 1552 required them to be equipped with 'a jack of platt, steilbonnet, splent slevis, of mailyie or plait', while the record of a muster held in Morayshire in 1595/6 showed many of those attending as being armed with a 'jack, steilbonat, pleitslevis' (Registers of the Privy Council of Scotland, Vol. I, p. 130, and Vol. XIV, p. 379). In Northern England, Thomas Hondly's will of 1588 mentions 'a jack, plait sleves, gauntlet, steel cap', while an inventory of Thomas Fischer's possessions of c. 1590 refers to 'a coat of plait' and two 'pair of plateslevis' (J. C. Hodgeson, Wills and Inventories …of the Northern Countie, Pt 3, Surtees Society, Vol. CXI, 1906, pp. 145-6 & 153). Aside from the platesleeves offered here, only one other pair of such defences, now in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, inv. no. III.1885, survives today. The two pairs were originally preserved together at Worden Hall in Lancashire at part of a collection formed by Sir William ffarington (c. 1704-81) at Worden Hall, Lancashire, after 1765. They are referred to in an inventory of the collection prepared between 1846 and c. 1870 as accompanying, in frames, three jacks of plate (wrongly called 'Brigandines Jackets') for bowmen of the time of Elizabeth. The history of this group of pieces is recorded in detail under the two previous lots. At some time before 1981 they were sent for conservation to the North Western Museum and Art Gallery Service at Blackburn, Lancashire, where the sleeves were enclosed within protective nylon netting.

VAN HELSING (2004) - Van Helsing's (Hugh Jackman) Hero Functioning Crossbow Van Helsing's (Hugh Jackman) hero crossbow from Stephen Sommers’ horror adventure film Van Helsing. Van Helsing was given his gas-powered automatic crossbow by its inventor Friar Carl (David Wenham), and used it in his battle with the brides of Dracula (Richard Roxburgh), killing the vampire Marishka (Josie Maran) after dipping its arrows in holy water. The intricately made weapon was produced by Applied Effects and features a machined-metal body with fold-out plastic bow arms, wooden grips and resin ram’s head detailing. Additional resin detailing is applied to the butt stock’s faux-gas tank and along the bow arms, with metal crosses in the pistol grip. The crossbow’s drum magazine is made of metal and plastic, with individually finished and fixed arrows within. The bow strings are bound together and finished to look like taut, wound leather. Fully functional, the chain-driven action is powered by a 12-volt battery located in the butt stock, which powers the weapon through a connector between the stock and the pistol grip. Pulling the trigger drives a chain which simulates the firing of the bow string, with the spring-loaded magazine rotating with each movement of the action. The weapon disassembles into three components with folding bow arms and sights. The weapon displays only minor scratches to the metal body through use on the production and is supplied in its own custom-made transit case. . It is accompanied by a 16" x 11" poster used in the promotion of the movie. Dimensions (assembled): 90 cm x 81 cm x 27 cm (35.5" x 32" x 10 ¾")As this item contains electronic components, every effort has been made to describe them accurately; however no guarantee or warranty is made as to functionality, lifespan or safety of those components.
