U.S.S. ENTERPRISE DAMAGE CONTROL OFFICER'S SWORD, SWORD BELT, HAT, AND EPAULETTESA spectacular set of articles belonging to Lt. Commander Herschel Albert Smith, Chief Damage Control Officer of the famed aircraft carrier U.S.S. ENTERPRISE. Presented here is Smith's ceremonial U.S. Navy dress sword, 30" blade, 35 1/2" overall, with the pommel, hilt, and handguard all of brass, decorated with a perforated pattern of oak branches with the initials "U S N". The quillion and D-shaped handguard are in the form of a traditional Navy "dolphin", and the top of the pommel bear a right facing eagle surrounded by thirteen stars, indicating that the sword was manufactured after 1941. The grip is white ray skin, secured with braided brass wire, and the original brass wire4 portapee is attached at the pommel. The brass shows slight verdigris in the crevices, but otherwise shows a very fine light patina. The blade is polished mirror-bright, and bears the name "Herschel A. Smith" engraved in a 3" plaque above the six-pointed star proof mark. No other maker's marks are present. The blade is engraved along two-thirds of its length with various floral motifs, anchors, a mast with sails, and the initials "U S N". The sword is housed in a 30 1/4" steel scabbard covered with black leather, with brass hanging loops and a brass chape featuring another "dolphin". The throat of the scabbard is engraved with Smith's initials "H A S". The brass fitting bear a fine patina, again with light verdigris. Present with the sword are Smith's sword belt, cocked hat, and epaulettes, all housed within a black metal case, bearing the initials "H A S" and "U.S.N." on the lid, along with a circular metal plaque, identifying the supplier as the "Wm. H. Horstmann Company, Philadelphia". The sword belt, 40 1/2" long, is black leather, decorated with navy blue and gold fabric, and featuring two fabric hanging straps with brass clasps. The buckle is of brightly-polished fire-gilt brass, and depicts an eagle and anchor within an oak wreath. Smith has scratched his name "H.A. SMITH" into the reverse of the buckle. The leather is slightly worn from use, else fine. The hat, approx. 17" x 7" x 5", is an officer's full dress bicorne, likely of black sable, with embroidered black silk edges and a black silk cockade secured by gold ribbon and a U.S. Navy seal button on the right-hand side. The front and rear bear decorations of gold-wire filigree, and the interior bears a black silk lining, with another "W. Horstmann Company" label at center. The hat bears some contact wear at the edges of the brim and the crown, with one small tear at the rear right-hand side, else very good. The epaulettes each measure approx. 7" x 5", and are constructed of finely-braided gold wire filigree mounted atop black leather and satin pads. Each epaulette bears an oak cluster, a fouled anchor, and a brass button with a U.S.Navy seal. On both epaulettes, the leather is splitting slightly along its seams, but the braided filigree remains very bright and vibrant, with no missing "fingers", insignia, or other elements. Also present within the case are two first-day covers, one celebrating the commissioning of the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE, franked aboard the ship at Norfolk on May 12, 1938, and the second celebrating the ship's posting to Pearl Harbor, franked aboard the ship at that port on November 7, 1939, as well as a souvenir card celebrating the ships 1942 Presidential Unit Citation, featuring a photograph of the ship and a facsimile of a hand-written message from the captain, S.P. Ginder, to the crew. A Wm. Horstmann-branded brush is also present within the case. As Chief Damage Control Officer, Lt. Comdr. HERSCHEL ALBERT SMITH (USNA Class of 1922) twice saved the Enterprise during two of her most bloody battles of the Pacific War. During the Battle of the Eastern Solomons on August 22, 1942, Japanese bombs blew holes in the side of the ship both above and below the waterline. Smith organized a damage control crew to stuff mattresses into the holes and reinforce the "plug" with wooden timbers. Later during the battle a Japanese bomb penetrated the stern deck and lodged in the steering mechanism, jamming the rudder and forcing the ship to steam in circles instead of heading up into the wind to receive returning fighters nearly out of fuel. Despite the searing heat, he managed to restore rudder control just in time to land the incoming fighter squadron. The ship was damaged again in the Battle of Santa Cruz in October, 1942, and again set out for Nouméa, New Caledonia before another Japanese attack in the Solomons. Included with the lot is a copy of "The Big E", by Edward P. Stafford (New York: Random House), 1962, 499pp. 4to., containing a very specific account of the Battle of the Eastern Solomons and Smith's actions to save his ship. Aside from the minor condition issues mentioned above, these relics are in pristine condition, and are of museum quality and importance.

Attributed to Jacques-Antoine-Marie Lemoine (French, 1751-1824) A French Officer of the Régiment de Dragons de La Reine, later 6eme Régiment de Dragons, wearing a green coat with scarlet facings and silver epaulette, powdered hair en queue, circa 1790 watercolour on ivory 6.40 x 4½cm (2 x 2in) Other Notes: Although the identity of this sitter is unknown, he is depicted in the uniform of the Régiment de Dragons de La Reine formed in 1673 and which became the 6eme Régiment de Dragons from 1791. Louis, Dauphin of France (1729-1765), who held the position of colonel of the dragoons before he predeceased his father, was painted in this uniform by Alexandre Roslin during the 1760s, a studio variant of which exists in the National Gallery in London. Born in Rouen, Lemoine was a pastellist and miniaturist who studied under Deschamps in 1771 and from 1779 probably under Maurice-Quentin de la Tour (1704-1788). This portrait dates to the early 1790s, shortly after Lemoine began his career as a portrait miniaturist. Condition appears fine - small rub mark to gilt frame at the bottom edge.
*Hillerman (Anna, born 1875). Head and shoulders portrait of a senior NCO, most probably a CSM (Feldwebel) or SNCO Acting Officer (not commissioned), known as an Offizierstellvertreter, in the 'walking out dress' of Infantry Leib Regiment "Großherzogin" Nr 117 based in Mainz (part of the 25th Großherzoglich Hessische Division with its HQ in Darmstadt), 1914, oil on board, signed and dated to right margin, 53 x 40cm The peaked cap with red band, the split coloured high collar with white/silver trim and red with the jacket piping in red is typical attire for an Infantry SNCO/junior (non-commissioned) officer at that time. As a Leib Regiment, it owed personal loyalty to the Hessian Duchy family. Not surprisingly, therefore, the "A" on the epaulette signifies Großherzogin Alice von Hesse who was the Regiment's equivalent to the titular Royal/Ducal Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment. (1)
