Brian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "Boy Scouts" Watercolor on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Great Britain Boy Scouts stamp issued March 24, 1982. Probably the world's most famous youth movement is the 1982 marked its 75th anniversary and anniversary of the birth of its founder, Robert Baden-Powell. By the year 1908, Powell's experiences in the British Army convinced him that British boys needed far more physical training and experience in outdoor life. Having previously written a military manual for British recruits called "Aids to Scouting," Powell decided to rewrite his manual for younger readership. The new version, entitled Scouting for Boys, became a tremendous success. Practically overnight, thousands of Scout Patrols sprang up throughout Britain to try out Powell's fun and adventurous ideas. Powell's original intention was that Scouting should be for boys between the ages of eleven and eighteen. But younger boys, seeing the fun and adventure older brothers and friends were having as Boy Scouts, began asking to join too. Thus, in 1914 Powell announced his plans for "Junior Scouts," since changed to Cub Scouts, to include boys under eleven years of age. Since then, numerous other sub-groups of the prestigious Scout movement have been added. And today, the excitement and magic of Scouting has never been stronger, for there are now over fifteen million Scouts, ages eight to twenty, around the world, with well over 650,000 in the United Kingdom alone!

dating: about 1570 provenance: France, Strong, straight blade, ribbed at the center, of lozenge section. Rectangular tang, sharpened towards the center and with remains of gilding and finishing, stamped on the left side in a shape of stylized bird. Elegant gilded bronze hilt, partially abraded. Parallelepiped quillon block (veined on one side) with frames on the borders and a Pan face in bass-relief on both sides, quillons curved toward the blade (one cracked and slightly bent), decorated with floral motifs and animal's masks at the ends, on both sides as well. Parry-ring chiselled with leaves and spirals holding a female face in relief in the center. Quatrelobed pommel, in two halves joined in the center, surmounted with a two-faced lady's bust composing a button; front and back lobes chiselled with a lion's head, the two lateral are bulbiform and enriched with garlands in relief as well. Grip with a naked female figure, in relief, holding a vase with flowers, surrounded by bands and architectonic elements and flowers. Wooden scabbard, covered with velvet (completely worn) with fantastic, gilded bronze mounts. Cap with a scene in which a group of characters is worshiping an idol (a sort of ape demonic figure) placed on a column: in the center and on the right three ladies in classical period dress, one of which kneeling, on the left two male characters, one with a helmet, the other with a long beard and conical hat, under all the characters a crouching lion, the bottom of the cap with a big mask. Upper part of the cap with rounded ring, with a mask in the center surrounded by flowers and fruits. An additional mouthpiece with double slot in the upper part of the scabbard, a knife and an awl inside of it, provided with wooden grip with gilded brass cap, decorated with masks in relief. Long chape decorated with a beautiful effigy of Hermes, messenger of the Gods, surmounted with a garland; below a mask, flowers and effigy that resumes the idol on the cap. Lower end with carving similar to the pommel but of reduced dimensions and with male faces. Back part of the cap engraved with lozenges, with a big cross and provided with a loop, festooned border and engraved with leaves. Back of chape carved with floral motifs. This fantastic dagger shows many details found on works by Hans Holbein the Elder (Augsburg, 1460 - Issenheim, 1524). See a series of Swiss daggers in the Wallace Collection, illustrated in 'European Arms and Armor - Volume II Arms' on plate 137 which contain various resembles with ours, such as the pommel of the A 768 dagger, the chapes of A 769 and A 770 and the drawing of the cap of A 768 (found in our dagger on the back part). The stamp on the blade is very similar to the stamps of the A 768, and vaguely recalls also those of the A 769 and A 770. See also the very similar knife and awl in the dagger kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which also shows similarities with ours on the chape and decoration engraved on the cap. Also the subject of the decorative elements of this dagger is of extreme interest, as the suggested theme is not only pagan, but esoteric: The main image, in fact, that is the scene on the cap, is an explicit esoteric reference, in which the idol worshiped on the column is probably Lucifer himself, portrayed inside a building, in a niche under a canopy (Lucifer, bearer of Light, does not need the light of the sun, since he himself is the light), depicted with monstrous features in the act of spreading his arms holding a scepter and (probably) a cornucopia. On his right he is in fact worshiped by ladies, on the left by a bearded man in the act of swearing, and by a man wearing a helmet pointing (or throwing) a torch (or a scale) to the ground. Pommel with button as two-faced female figure can recall the myth of Janus, who sees the future and the past. The naked figures on the grip can also be interpreted as sacrificial victims tied by straps to an altar. The back of the cap bears the effigy of a large crucifix, but this has engraved arms so that each element has both a light and a dark side, and the foliage at the base of the cap can also be interpreted as flames. The depiction of Hermes, messenger of the gods but also god of writing and Magic. Quillon block bears Pan's heads, obviously also assimilated to the iconography of the Devil. An extraordinary dagger that deserves an adequate study of its unique characteristics. Museum restorations. length 38,2 cm.

Note other lots in the auction may close on November 10th or November 11th.A light-up Industrial Light and Magic X-wing filming miniature from the production of Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Rebel fighters flew X-wings - among the most iconic spacecraft in sci-fi cinema - during the climactic destruction of the new Death Star. To save money and time during the productions of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, ILM bought in a handful of off-the-shelf model kits, which were heavily adapted and modified for filming. This miniature has been extensively modified to include: a weighted body; a full internal steel motion-control armature, with a motion-control mounting point running through the body; a rear main engine plate (concealing a removable plug); and light-up thrusters. It is finished with beautiful ILM paintwork and intentional distressing. The light-up engine thrusters are built with an aluminium shroud housing each light, and are illuminated by connecting the power leads in the nose of the miniature to a power supply. Interestingly, the top of the wings are designated "Red 4", while the lower wings are designated "Red 5", indicating this could have originally been designed for long shots of Luke's (Mark Hamill) X-wing.This miniature is believed to be the only model miniature X-wing with light-up engines ever to come to auction. Very few miniatures from the Star Wars series come to market and are therefore very rare. This model was acquired from an ILM model maker who worked on both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as all three original Indiana Jones films, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and a number of the Star Trek movies.This miniature was specifically used in Return of the Jedi, as all X-wings in A New Hope were scratch built, rather than built with kits. There were very few X-wings in The Empire Strikes Back, and those which were used had a slightly different paintwork and finish. In addition, the style, tones and colours of the paintwork and construction of this X-wing match other Return of the Jedi versions in the Lucasfilm Archive.The miniature is mounted on a custom-built, mirrored base and presents in excellent condition having undergone some minor sympathetic restoration. Dimensions (displayed): 31 cm x 27 cm x 23 cm (12¼" x 10¾" x 9") Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: £200,000 - 300,000 MClients without purchase history may need to meet additional registration requirements in order to bid on this lot; please inquire for details.
