Goerz Triëder 12x binoculars, serial number 2568, housed in contemporary button-fastened leather case hand-painted with address panel 'Ravenoaks, Penrith, Cumberland' and motifs including a tiger, fish, stags, fish, skull-and-crossbones and swastika, red velvet lining, binoculars and case both rubbed, binoculars in good working order; 2) a wooden fishing priest (approx. length 38 cm), pommel carved in shape of human head, grip carved in ropework pattern and incorporating 2 panels lettered 'A.B.B. Feb: 1895' and 'Simon the Salmon Slayer', notched shaft, grip and shaft sometime split and skilfully braced with 4 strips of metal (Qty: 2)NOTESArthur Brooks Broadhurst (1860-1930) was an officer in the 14th (King's) Hussars, and author of the rare privately-printed journal Three Months Tiger Shooting the Deccan (Secunderabad, 1884). He was born at Cheetham Hill, Lancashire and later lived at Penrith; his father was the industrialist Henry Tootal Broadhurst. He reached the rank of captain and was gazetted adjutant of auxiliary forces in 1888. Broadhurst's authorship of Three Months Tiger Shooting appears only now to have come to light through the emergence of his autograph manuscript (see the previous lot): it was previously attributed only to 'A. B. B.', the moniker carved into the fishing priest.
