Lot 1
The history of the Sportster in the Harley Davidson range can be traced back to the introduction of the side valve K series machines introduced in 1952. Intended to compete with the overhead valve 500cc British machines on both the track and the road, the new models were considerably lighter than their overhead valve brothers. The next major step in the evolution of the range came in 1957 when the overhead valve 883cc XL series of machines was introduced to be joined at the beginning of the 1970's by a larger capacity variant initially displacing 997cc. Whilst the 883cc engine size would remain a constant, continuing to this day, the larger variant would undergo two further increases in capacity, the first coming in 1986 with the introduction of the Evo 1100cc the second in 1988 when the 1200cc engine was adopted. Throughout production the Sportster, in both capacities, has retained its slim, stripped down appearance, with the 883 proving to be particularly popular with riders purchasing their first Harley.This iconic motorcycle is presented in metallic grey and has only covered a mere 9,940 miles from new. The present owner had the bike fully recommissioned in 2020 which included a new drivebelt, new battery and serviced. It has covered zero miles since 2020 and has been stored carefully. A great touring bike with low mileage, ready to use!

The Silver Wraith was the first post-war Rolls-Royce offered directly to the general public. Traditionally, their cars were offered as engine only/rolling chassis then delivered directly to a coach builder to receive the body of choice. They were larger than their sibling, the Bentley Mk. VI, and were equipped with independent front suspension and hydraulic shock absorbers, appealing to both owner-drivers and passengers alike.Originally delivered to Mr. Arthur Aman of Windlesham in Surrey by Brooklands of Bond Street in 1952, instructions included Silver Dawn headlamps and a wider, more imposing, bonnet. It was then absorbed as a company asset by Arthur Aman & Co. in 1954 followed by sale to Mr. Philip Rickards of Fulham, London in 1962. Mr. K. Hemmingway of Stanmore, Middlesex in 1965 became the last recorded owner on the enclosed period owners documentation. More recently, documents show that the car came from the US to a Mr. David Leppan of Phillimore Gardens, London who imported the car from Los Angeles to Felixstowe in 2010. All taxes and duties were paid at the time and part of the UK V5, and NOVA is enclosed. It was then sold to a noted German collector before finding its way back to the UK.Originally a black car with contrasting brown leather interior, it has since been painted in these two shades of a much more cheerful blue. New carpets have been installed, front and rear and, some time ago, a boot-mounted, air-conditioning system has been integrated into the superstructure and reported to be fully functioning. The aluminium exterior of the car is in excellent general condition with faults hard to find. The aluminium bumpers are also in excellent condition although the wing mirrors would benefit from some light attention along with the interior silvering of the offside headlamp. This imposing example has also just undertaken a mechanical overhaul alongside a major service and is reported to be running beautifully with a powerful, silent engine exhibiting good oil pressure and cool running at motorway speeds.A large diameter steering wheel allows for easy low-speed manoeuvring and new white wall tyres are fitted all round with chrome wheel centres recently purchased and fitted.The internal appointments are of equally good quality with period blue leather in good order throughout and just minor wear on the drivers bolster. There are walnut picnic tables, fold-out footrests, and foot-cushions for the rear occupants with door cappings and dashboard in excellent condition. Additional details include the original brass Pyrene fire-extinguisher, modern Alpine radio and a golden Spirit of Ecstasy.A very well-prepared and sporting Rolls-Royce, effortlessly able to keep up with modern traffic and with many miles ahead of her.

Seltener Parade-Bidenhänder, Braunschweig, 1574 und 19. Jhd.Herzog Julius-Typ, Ges.-L. 188 cm, Klingen-L. 133 cm, Parierstangen-Br. 58 cm, Klinge mit rhombischem Querschnitt, zwei ausgeschmiedete Parierhaken, lange Fehlschärfe, auf einem Parierhaken sichelförmige Schmiedemarke, die Klinge beidseitig graviert mit Krone über drei Balustern, darunter Datierung "AN 1574" und Nummer "N 134", beidseitig je Abdruck einer Schraubstockbacke (s.u.). Mit Tusche aufgetragene Sammlungsnummer "IV37", breite Parierstange mit zum Ort hin gebogenen, an den Spitzen eingerollten Enden, jeweils mit zwei Delfin- und Greifenköpfen verziert, reich graviert. Beidseitig angebrachter Parierbügel von quadratischem Querschnitt mit je drei verdickt geschmiedeten Partien, das Bügelinnere jeweils von zwei quadratischen, sich überkreuzenden Stegen gitterartig ausgefüllt, Parierstange und -Bügel feuerverschweißt, dunkelbraune Griffhilze, torsiert geschnitzt, leicht wurmstichig, mittig gerissen und etwas ausgebrochen. Pilzförmiger, kannellierter und etwas gravierter Knauf, unsauber vernietet, um den Niet Feilspuren, insgesamt guter Erhaltungszustand, an der Klinge drei leichtere Scharten. Abgabe nur an Personen über 18 Jahren. Versand nur per Spedition möglich. Zwischen 1573 und 1574 wurden mindestens dreihundert entsprechende Bidenhänder als Paradewaffen für die Leibgarde des Herzogs Julius von Braunschweig (1528-1589) hergestellt. Es handelt sich bei dem vorliegenden Exemplar offenbar um eine Zusammenstellung aus einer originalen Klinge und einer wohl originalen Parierstange, welche im 19. Jhd. durch eine Hilze und einen abweichenden Knauf ergänzt wurden. Hierfür sprechen die unsauberen Feil- und Nietspuren an Knauf und Angel sowie zwei Schraubstockabdrücke im Bereich der Klingengravur. Eine sehr ähnliche Klingengravur zeigt ein Exemplar im Bördemuseum Burg Ummendorf. Zwar liegen bereits aus 1573 Nummern über 200 vor, doch begann man die Nummerierung 1574 offenbar wieder von vorn, wie insbesondere mehrere Originale aus dem Besitz der Welfen (Schloss Marienburg) sowie eines im Museum Cleveland zeigen.

Auktion Royal House of Hannover 2005, Marienburg, Bd. 2, Nr. 224-229.VERY RARE TWO-HANDED PARADE SWORD, Brunswick, 1574 and 19th cent. The blade originates from one of the rare guard swords of Duke Julius, made in 1573 and 1574. Engraved Brunswick coat of arms, dating 1574 and number 134 visible on the blade. The numbering of the pieces is typical for these Brunswick swords. Although there are blades with higher numbers from as early as 1573, swords from the collection of the Royal House of Hanover and the Cleveland Museum show that the numbering apparently started all over again in 1574. Pommel, grip and cross-guard are possibly later additions. Vise marks and filing marks on the tang indicate the conversion. Length 188 cm.Customers outside the EU: Please organize the shipping and the preparation of export documents by a suitable forwarding agent on your own.

The goddess was the daughter of the male god of Mount Tai, the easternmost of the Five Sacred Mountains in Shandong Province, where the Palace of the Clouds of Dawn, Bixia Gong, was built at the top of the mountain as her shrine during the Ming dynasty. Figures of Bixia Yuanjun are a personification of the yin force and made for use on Daoist altars.Literature comparison: See a larger bronze figure of Bixia Yuanjun dated to the 15th century in the Art Institute of Chicago, illustrated in S.
