Winchester .44WCF / 44-40 1892 lever action rifle, 24 inch octagonal barrel with dove tailed front sight and folding ladder rear sight, full length magazine tube, crescent shape butt plate, serial number 224387. UK RFD OR FIREARMS LICENCE REQUIRED TO BUY THIS LOT.106cm long Condition report: The rifle was proofed in July this year and has recently arrived back from the proof house. It has spent many years in this country being shot and enjoyed by its owner but has never been UK proofed before. The loading gate cover is missing. The present owner has never had this part during his ownership of the rifle. The action has had the two locking lugs or bolts replaced by a gunsmith prior to proof as the original ones were very loose. The action appears to work correctly but feels 'new' due to the new lugs. The bore has some pitting. This is mainly light and in the grooves however, there are some darker patches around a third of the way down (looking from the muzzle). The gun has a large amount of original finish which is fading to plum colour. There is some pitting to the rear sight and the tensioning screw which would go through the dove tail is missing. The woodwork appears to be original finish with some scratches dents and marks from use.

Colt Single Action Army 1873 .41 Colt revolver, 4.5inch barrel, traces of colour case harden to frame, serial number 200443 fitted with hard composition grips with makers logo.2021 UK Proof on certificate and hidden under the grips. SECTION 5 DEALER OR SECTION 7 FIREARMS LICENCE WITH CORRECT VARIATION REQUIRED. THIS LOT CAN ONLY BE STORED ONSITE FOR FOUR WEEKS FOLLOWING AUCTION.Condition report: Action works correctly with a strong mainspring and good cylinder lock-up. Matching serial numbers to grip frame and trigger guard. The cylinder has no number stamped to it. The loading gate as 866 stamped to the inside however we do not think this is part of the serial numbering system, the gate has the same finish/wear /patina that the rest of the gun has, therefore, we feel it is original to the gun. The gun has a lot of its original finish however it is lightly worn overall, there are traces of colour case hardening. The bore is good with only light speckling seen. This might improve with careful cleaning. The rifling patterns are still strong. The grips have a nice patina to them with some very small chips, and scuffs. The screw gates are generally ok but are very slightly chewed from use in places. The gun is in full working order and has recently had a hidden reproof, a requirement of these revolvers now they have moved over from section 58 to section 5/7.

Two years after the highly successful appearance of Waghenaer's Spieghel der Zeevaerdt Lord Charles Howard of Effingham, Lord Admiral of England, drew the attention of Her Majesty's Privy Council to Waghenaer's sea-atlas, and suggested that it was the answer to a long-felt want. Shortly thereafter it was "esteemed by the chief personages of the grave counsell worthy to be translated and printed into a language familiar to all nations." One Anthony Ashley was commissioned to translate the text and place names; the charts, entirely re-engraved, are among the earliest copper plates made in England. ['World Encompassed', Baltimore Museum of Art, 1952, cat. No. 182]. "Heerin also may be understood the exploits of lately atchived by the right honorable the L. admiral of Englad with her maties navie; and some former services don by that worthy knight sr. Fra.

Lot 479
Middle East.- Pakyne (Theodore) Voyage en Orient, manuscript account of a journey to Persia, 34pp., in French, some blank leaves ruled in pencil at end, sewn, lacking wrappers, 4to, 1839.⁂ Unpublished first hand account of a journey to Persia, unusual because it is written by the humble "vallet de chambre" to the wealthy aristocrat "Monsieur le Comte de Sercey." The latter's diplomatic mission to Persia is described in La Perse en 1840, which first appeared in La Revue Contemporaine in 1854, and was an attempt by the French government to re-establish relations with Persia. But this account by a mere servant is much more engaging, if rather idiosyncratic. He describes visits to Palermo, Messina and Mount Etna before they reach Milos; Constantinople is described in detail - "everywhere there are mosques and minarets" - before the hazardous crossing of the mountains from Trebizond to Bayazid - "the inhabitants are miserable and the women unwashed". In the capital of Azerbaijan, Tabriz, the expedition's artist M. Flandin, is attacked after he tries to gate-crash a wedding party, whereupon the guests are fined and administered fifty lashes. In March 1840 they arrive in Teheran where they are warmly welcomed with fanfares "despite the fact that Christians are regarded as dogs". A fascinating counterpoint to de Sercey's better known but more conventional account.
