Doppelfernrohr 25x105 Flak "KQC" Jos Schneider & Co, BinocularsGerman, c.1944, with plaque to the top for:Dopple-Fernrohr 25x105Bauart: kqcWerk-Nr. 2430Herstoller: kqcwith kqc being the manufacturer code for Jos Schneider & Co, large and heavy binoculars with focusing eyepieces, inter-ocular adjustment, filters, carry handle to top, 52cm longCondition: all optics dirty and in need of clean, fungus and dirt, missing top sight, both side control wheels, focusing works on both eyepieces.The Doppelfernrohr 25x105 Flak binoculars, designed by Dr. A.W. Tronnier and produced in 1944 by Jos Schneider & Co. under the wartime code name "KQC," were a key example of optical engineering during World War II. Manufactured in limited quantities at the Göttingen factory for the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, they were intended for crucial military applications in the later stages of the war.Weighing 14 kilograms, the 25x105 Flak binoculars were designed to meet the demands of the Reich's anti-aircraft units. They offered sharpness, brightness, and magnification superior to earlier models like the 10x80. With a wider field of view at long distances, they maintained image clarity in various lighting conditions and aided in identifying and targeting enemy aircraft.The binoculars were instrumental in observing the flight paths and stability of advanced German weapons such as the V1 and V2 missiles. Their design included practical features like adjustable interpupillary distance and filters for enhanced visibility, particularly during night operations.Despite the challenges of wartime production and damage to manufacturing facilities, the Doppelfernrohr 25x105 Flak binoculars were noted for their durability and usability. Features like a soft rubber forehead rest made them comfortable for extended use, and today they are recognized for their historical importance and quality craftsmanship.The Evolution and Impact of J. Schneider - Göttingen in Optical Technologies - The J. Schneider - Göttingen company, has a history marked by innovation and adaptation. Founded on January 18, 1913, by Joseph Schneider a man with roots in various entrepreneurial ventures across Germany and the United States, the company quickly made its mark in the optical industry. Joseph Schneider's interest in optical technologies was likely sparked by his son, Joseph August Schneider, who studied Physics and Optics in Frankfurt and obtained his first patent in 1910. This patent was an intricate design intended to enhance the quality of motion pictures, showcasing an early commitment to improving visual technologies.Within a year of its founding, the company introduced three innovative cinematographic lenses: Symmar, Componar, and Isconar. These early successes set a foundation for rapid growth and expansion. By 1918, the workforce had grown from 43 to 400 employees, necessitating a significant expansion of their manufacturing facilities. The 1920s continued to see advancements, with the introduction of the "Xenar" lens, which became particularly influential in the field of photography and cinematography.The most controversial phase of J. Schneider - Göttingen’s history began with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the onset of World War II. In 1936, the company shifted its focus to Göttingen, a strategic move accompanied by a transition to military production. By 1938, the company's employee base had expanded to 450, and the new facility in Göttingen became a hub for the production of military optics. During the war, under the encryption code "Kqc," J. Schneider - Göttingen produced binoculars and other optical equipment exclusively for the German army. This period highlighted the company's capacity to adapt its technologies for diverse applications, albeit under coercive political circumstances.The aftermath of World War II brought immense challenges for J. Schneider - Göttingen, as it did for many German companies involved in wartime production. The factory was found in ruins, a stark testament to the destructive power of the conflict. However, the resilience that had characterized the company's early years resurfaced, and soon after the war, the company began to rebuild in the territories of West Germany.

The rare and outstanding battle of the Atlantic D.S.M. group of seven awarded to Chief Engine Room Artificer D. ‘Don’ Portree, Royal Canadian Navy, who was decorated for his gallant deeds in H.M.C.S. Assiniboine in August 1942, when she engaged, rammed and sunk the U-210. The action was captured in a remarkable series of photographs taken by an embarked official war correspondent and historian, an action marked by the extraordinary belligerence of the U-boat’s crew, several of whom loudly ‘Heiled’ on being rescued and brought aboard Assiniboine: not to be outdone, it is said that Canadian celebratory yells on getting their ‘kill’ probably ‘frightened U-boats’ as far as 10 miles away Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R.

(CPO 1/c D Portree) mounted as worn, good very fine (7) £3,000-£4,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- One of approximately 100 awards of the D.S.M. to the Royal Canadian Navy. D.S.M. London Gazette 22 December 1942: ‘For services in action with enemy submarines while serving in H.M. Canadian Ships.’ Donald Portree was born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1911 but later made his way east, ‘riding the rails’ during the depression. By 1940 he had settled with his wife in Hamilton, where he was working as a moulder at Dominion Foundries. Having then joined the Royal Canadian Navy, he was serving as an Engine Room Artificer in the destroyer H.M.C.S. Assiniboine by 1942. Assiniboine’s subsequent action with U-210 is well-documented, both in words and in photographs, due to her having embarked an official war correspondent and historian; the images used here are courtesy of the Department of National Defence/National Archives of Canada In August 1942, Assiniboine was detailed to act as escort to convoy SC-94, bound from Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, to the U.K. Lieutenant-Commander J. H. Stubbs, R.C.N., commanding Assiniboine, had the largest and fastest ship amongst the accompanying escort of three R.N. and three R.C.N. corvettes, the whole charged with protecting the 33 participating merchantmen. In the event, 11 of them were sunk. On the morning of 6 August 1942, U-210 was sighted by Assiniboine’s lookout at 1125 hours, a few miles away on the convoy’s starboard bow. Increasing speed, she hastened towards the surfaced U-boat which dived after three salvoes from her guns. Assiniboine’s then delivered three depth charge attacks, following which U-210 was sighted again at 1712 hours, surfaced about half a mile away, in the shifting and sometimes dense fog. A wild goose chase ensued, the destroyer and U-boat darting in and out of the fog patches, with Stubbs being unable to bring his 4.7-inch guns to bear on the target. Finally, however, Assiniboine got so close that only her secondary armament was able to depress sufficiently to bear on the twisting U-boat, her half-inch calibre machine-guns desperately trying to compete with the U-boat’s torrent of 37mm. and 20mm. fire. Hits were achieved by both sides, German sailors being swept from the boat’s casing in rushing to man the guns, but themselves getting hits on Assiniboine’s bridge and forward gun positions, killing one gunner, and wounding thirteen others. A fire fed by gasoline stored on Assiniboine’s upper deck took hold, starboard of the wheelhouse, and the ship’s coxswain, Chief Petty Officer Bernays, ordered two members of his team to go out and fight the flames. One of them was Chief Engine Room Artificer Don Portree, who was flipped over the ship’s rails when the pressure suddenly surged through his fire hose. Holding on for dear life, he was at length hauled back aboard, and by the time Assiniboine’s First Lieutenant, Ralph Hennessy, arrived on the scene, he found that Portree and Chief Torpedoman Burgess were well underway in fighting the fire. Stubbs, meanwhile, continued his battle with the U-boat, dropping more depth charges but without result. Finally, he was able to move off and bring his 4.7-inch guns to bear, obtaining a hit on the submarine’s bridge which killed the German captain. And when the U-210 commenced to dive, Stubbs was at last able to ram her just behind the conning tower. Yet, in an extraordinary act of belligerence the U-boat resurfaced and resumed firing her 20mm. gun. Once again Assiniboine’s 4-7-inch guns got stuck in, whilst Stubbs circled and rammed, this time convincingly so: U-210 was finished, slipping beneath the waves for a final time. In concluding his official report, Captain Stubbs stated: ‘I turned as quickly as possible to find him surfacing again but slightly down by the stern, still firing and making about 10 knots. After a little manoeuvring, we rammed him again well abaft the conning tower and fired a shallow pattern of depth charges as we passed. Also one 4.7″ shell from “Y” Gun scored a direct hit on his bows. He sank by the head in about two minutes. Dianthus appeared out of the fog just in time to see him go. The yell that went up from both ships must have frightened U-boats for about 10 miles in the vicinity. Ten prisoners were picked up by Assiniboine, 8 by Dianthus, six of which were later transferred to Assiniboine. While they were being separated the prisoners “Heiled” several times at the top of their voices. When received onboard, officers, of which there were two, and ratings, were segregated. Casualties sustained amounted to one rating killed, one officer and twelve ratings wounded. Ship’s plating was punctured in dozens of places on the water line, gun shields, bridge, range finder, funnels and searchlight platform. Several bullets penetrated to the wheel house, which probably accounts for the lack of track charts for this particular period. All compartments below the waterline, aft to the provision room were flooded, and extra shores were placed. A./S. and R.D.F. were out of action as well as gun circuits and certain lighting circuits. It is notable that two of the most delicate instruments in the ship, the plot and the gyro, remained intact. In view of all this I decided the ship must return to St. John’s forthwith … ’ The gallant actions of Assiniboine’s crew were duly rewarded: in fact, in terms of a single action, the ship became one of the most decorated in the history of the Royal Canadian Navy: Stubbs received the D.S.O., his First Lieutenant the D.S.C., the coxswain the C.G.M. (one of just two such awards to the R.C.N. in the last war), and Portree and three others the D.S.M. Fourteen of the crew were mentioned in despatches, too. Portree received his D.S.M. at an investiture held in July 1943 and returned to Hamilton after the war. He died there in 1994. Sold with copied research.

The frame, showing age-appropriate wear such as minor abrasions and flaking, complements the artwork’s antique character. A label on the reverse identifies the frame manufacturer as H. Fleming of 49 Millgate, Wigan, a known carver, gilder, and mount cutter of the same period.This piece demonstrates European artistic craftsmanship and historical significance, attributed to its unique medium and evocative visual narrative. It offers collectors a preserved example of the rare and complex reverse glass painting technique.

A MEISSEN FLOWER-ENCRUSTED NINE-BRANCH TWENTY-ONE LIGHT FIGURAL CHANDELIER MID 19TH CENTURY The S-shaped branches each suspending flower encrusted drops, unmarked approximately 70 high not including celling fitting, 90cm wideProvenance: Commissioned by George V or Queen Marie of Hannover Sotheby's, The Royal House of Hannover, Schloss Marienburg, 5-15 October, 2005, lot 2852 At the Congress of Vienna in 1814, George III was restored to his Hannoverian property and titles, Hannover having been occupied by Prussia at the behest of Napoleon Bonaparte. George III had been co-ruler of the two territories, King of Great Britain and Ireland and Duke and Elector of Hannover within the Holy Roman Empire. The latter had been incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia by Bonaparte and after his defeat it reverted to George III but now was created a kingdom. In succession through the various sons of George III, Queen Victoria succeeded to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland via the Act of Succession, but Hannover was governed by Semi-Salic Law so had to pass to her uncle Earnst Augustus Duke of Cumberland. Salic Law, a legacy from the days of the Frankish Kings does not allow for succession to thrones, fiefs or titles via the female line. Schloss Marienburg was built by George V of Hannover as a birthday present for his wife, Marie of Saxe-Altenburg between 1857 and 1867. The castle is very much in the Gothic revival fairy tale style so fashionable in Britain, France and the various German states at the time, fuelled by writers such as Sir Walter Scott and Willem Hauff, longing for a return to Medievalism native to Northern Europe and away from classism. Other notable examples exist such as Schloss Lichtenstein in Wurttenberg, built by 1842 and Schloss Hohenzollern completed 1867 but perhaps the most celebrated is King Ludwig of Bavaria's Schloss Neuschwanstein. The chandelier was ordered from Meissen by the Queen for her salon at Schloss Marienburg where it was photographed in situ in 1867. This Rococo revival style was the height of fashion at the time and the aforementioned Ludwig would fill his new castles with Meissen lighting a decade or so later. As Meissen is also in Saxony and the premier German porcelain manufacturer it would have been the manufacturer of choice and one could argue that Meissen is and was the finest producer of porcelain in the world. The Sotheby's ten-day sale in 2005 sold more than twenty thousand objects accumulated by the Electors and later Kings of Hannover, Dukes of Brunswick and British monarchs achieving more than forty million Euros.
