*Poland, Order of St Stanislaus, a fine jewelled 18th century small-sized sash badge attributed to Stanislaus August Poniatowski, who reigned as the last King of Poland, Stanislaw II August (1764-1795), in gold and enamels, the eight points of the badge and the centre of the upper limb all set with a single diamond, the suspension ring set with three diamonds either side of the gold top and the circular green enamelled wreath surrounding the saint also set with four single diamonds at each 90° point, the white and black finely-enamelled eagles in angles of the cross with plain gold crowns and beaks, width 43.5mm, enamel chipped in places, better than very fine and extremely rare. Provenance: Private purchase from Spink & Son, London, 3 March 1966, when attributed to Stanislaw August Poniatowski (1732-1798). The piece was originally acquired together with the diamond type 1 set of insignia of the Polish Order of the White Eagle sold at Morton & Eden, 11-12 June 2015, lot 575 and which can be traced to a New York auction in the early 1960s; further research documentation and a related letter are also included in the lot as well as an edited copy of the 1966 Spink invoice. Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski (1732-98), a member of the Polish nobility, arrived at the Russian Court in 1755 where he became romantically involved with the future Catherine II. In 1764 he was elected King of Poland with Catherine’s support, and in the following year he founded the Order of St Stanislaus in honour of the country’s Patron Saint. The last King of Poland was himself a great patron of the Arts and founded the Polish National Theatre as well as commissioning many notable works. However with Austria, Prussia and Russia all seeking to dismember Poland in pursuit of their own interests, the country’s existence as a sovereign state was effectively ended in 1795. Poniatowski was forced to abdicate in November 1795 and died on 12 February 1798, a virtual prisoner in the Marble Palace, St Petersburg.

*U.S.A., Treasury Gold Life Saving Medal, awarded in 1983, engraved on reverse Douglas Peace 11/10/83, with wreathed eagle’s head swivelling suspension, 37.5mm, with matt finish as issued, minor marks from handling, otherwise extremely fine; with a relating miniature as awarded, extremely fine (2). The Medal is offered with a copy newspaper feature and notes, including a copy of the official citation for the award dated 9 October 1984 as follows: The Secretary of Transportation takes pleasure in presenting the GOLD LIFESAVING MEDAL to DOUGLAS PEACE for acts as set forth in the following CITATION: “For extraordinary and heroic action in the early morning hours of 10 November 1983, when he attempted the rescue of a survivor from the capsized offshore supply vessels, M/V LAVERNE HERBERT, nine miles offshore from Matagorda Island, Texas. LAVERNE HERBERT capsized in the Gulf of Mexico during heavy seas and high winds on the evening of 9 November 1983. Mr. Douglas Peace was a crewmember aboard the M/V CASEY CHOUEST, the first vessel to arrive at the scene of the casualty. Upon the vessel’s arrival, a man was observed clinging from the jackstaff of the LAVERNE HERBERT. As the CASEY CHOUEST approached, the survivor dropped from the jackstaff and began swimming toward the rescue vessel. Suddenly the survivor ceased swimming and began to slip beneath the surface. Mr. Peace, with total disregard for his own safety, dove from the bow of the CASEY CHOUEST in a valiant attempt to rescue the man in the water, struggling against enormous seas and blinded by the wind and spray. As one particularly large sea passed Mr. Peace, he saw the survivor on the face of the next wave, unable to swim any farther, knocked beneath the surface by sea action. In a desperate and valiant move, Mr. Peace dove beneath the storm-tossed waves, grasped the survivor, and struggled back to the surface. Demonstrating great courage, he began towing the survivor toward the CASEY CHOUEST. Then, just as the two men were about to be pulled from the water, the CASEY CHOUEST was hammered by successive large beam seas. This action drove the two men beneath the surface and under the chine of the vessel. The survivor was literally torn from Mr. Peace’s grasp as the pitching and rolling vessel struck Mr. Peace violently, causing numerous injuries. Risking further additional injuries, Mr. Peace dove repeatedly beneath the surface in frustrating and unsuccessful attempts to locate the submerged victim. Suffering from injuries, exhaustion, and hypothermia, he was finally forced to abandon his efforts and was pulled aboard the CASEY CHOUEST by his shipmates. Mr. Douglas Peace’s heroic attempts, unselfish actions, exceptional fortitude, and utter disregard for his own life, despite imminent danger reflect great credit upon himself and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the humanitarian service”. Sincerely, J. S. GRACEY Admiral, U. S. Coast Guard Commandant.’

*U.S.A., Presidential Gold Life Saving Medal, engraved “TO J. HENDERSON of the Newcastle Volunteer Life-Saving Crew, in recognition of his heroic services in effecting the rescue, Sept. 27” 1909, of the Captain and his wife and the crew of the American schooner ALPENA.” Reverse of suspension clasp and edge of medal marked ’22 Ct.; light hairlines and small surface grazes behind head and to neck of portrait, otherwise extremely fine. The wreck of the Alpena on 25 September 1909, off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, is described in detail in the article ‘Two Brave Italians’ by Paul Street (LSARS Journal No.57). The four-masted schooner Alpena was en route from Melbourne to Newcastle to collect a shipment of coal when it was hit by a very severe gale near ‘Nobbys’. In her attempt to make port with the help of the tug Levert, a squall parted the line between them, leaving her stranded. A pilot steamer, Ajax, under Captain Richard Page, then towed out the Newcastle lifeboat Victoria, under Coxswain Antonio Costa, to assist in saving the lives of the greatly endangered crew. First saving the life of the Captain’s wife, with some difficulty, the lifeboat was towed back to save the crew. Bringing 23 crew on board, the lifeboat was capsized twice by huge waves, throwing 20 of the 23 back into the water. From this, the lifeboat recovered 13 people, and the Ajax a further 6. For their efforts, some 14 Presidential Gold Lifesaving Medals were awarded to the lifesaving crews by President William Taft, including J Henderson, whose name is confirmed in the article. Rescue crew members later described this event as the worst night of their lives. This lot offered with copied research, including the above article in full.
