Early 9th century AD. A double-edged sword of Petersen's Type E with visible fullers, copper-inlaid runic symbols to one side of the blade, the other side with a Latin cross; the hilt with boat-shaped guard decorated with silver-inlaid circular segments, recently added fixing rivets, three-lobed pommel with inlaid vertical segments. See Petersen, J., De Norske Vikingsverd, Oslo, 1919; Geibig, A., Beiträge zur morphologischen Entwicklung des Schwertes im Mittelalter, Neumünster, 1991; Peirce, I., Swords of the Viking Age, Suffolk, 2002; Kainov, S.Yu., ‘????? ?????? ? ???? ? ???????? ????????’ in ??????? ?????????? ???.2. ??????? ?????????? ??????????? ?????? '??????? ??????????' ??? ??????????????? ???????????? ?????, 2011, pp.147-152; Kainov, S. Yu. ‘Swords from Gn?zdovo’ in Acta Militaria Mediaevalia VIII, pp.7-68; Williams, G., Pentz, P. & Wemhoff, M., Vikings Life and Legend, London, 2014; the sword presents a very similar shape to two Frankish swords of the same typology, one with 'VLFBERH+T' inscription (Williams, Pentz, Wemhoff, 2014, pp.81,102) and various specimens published by Kainov (2011, p.152, figs.10,13,16"). 1.4 kg, 97cm (38 1/4"). From a private family collection; previously acquired from a collection formed before 1990; thence by descent; accompanied by an archaeological report by weapon specialist Dr. Raffaele D'Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10203-167294. Petersen regarded Type E as an early type, originating at least in the first half of the ninth century, particularly associated with the region around Trondheim in Norway. Most characteristic of this type is the massive iron hilt decorated with an array of closely spaced circular indentations upon the face of the pommel and guards (in our specimen they are very shallow) which frequently may also be decorated with parallel inlaid silver or copper stripes. Fine condition.

Late 13th century AD. An iron helmet of domed form with conical apex and four bands with trefoil terminals; the dome is forged in four pieces with applied ridged bands creating a four-section appearance; the four iron strips crossing on the top are nailed to the bowl sections, each with five or six rivets, and to the conical apex with four iron rivets, continuing on sides and back around the lower edge of the bowl with a broader band, with carinated upper edge; the front band ending in an expanded bi-lobate plaque, forming the nose-guard and reinforcing the structure; the nose-guard shows arched extension above the eyes and is rivetted to the front with four domed nails; an aventail of ring mail armour composed of rings of circa 1cm in diameter surrounding.

Circa 1320 AD. A well-preserved iron helmet composed of five plates joined by rivets, two plates for the upper back and front and two for the lower part, the top formed of one plate attached by eighteen iron rivets; shaped nose-guard dividing the eye-holes, thirty-one holes to each side of the lower part for ventilation. See Müller-Hickler, H., 'Über die Funde aus der Burg Tannenberg', in ZfHW XIII, Neue Folge 4, 1934, pp.175-181; Scalini, M., 'Protezione e segno di distinzione: l'equipaggiamento difensivo nel duecento' in Scramasax (ed.), Il Sabato di San Barnaba, la battaglia di Campaldino,11 giugno 1289-1989, Milano, pp.80-98; Žákovský P., Hošek J., Cisár V., 'A unique finding of a great helm from the Dale?ín castle in Moravia', in Acta Militaria Medievalia, VIII, 2011, pp.91-125; Scalini, M., A bon droyt, Spade di uomini liberi, cavalieri e Santi/Epées d'hommes libres, chevaliers et saints, Milano, 2007. 2.1 kg, 28cm (11"). From a private family collection; previously acquired from a collection formed before 1990; thence by descent; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10209-167300. The helmet a staro, i.e. with cylindrical shape and composed of five plates (like the Dargen specimen, see Žákovský & Hošek, 2011, fig.9:A) seems to have been in use until the last decades of the 13th century, as can be seen in the iconography of the seals of Cavalcante de Cavalcanti (AD 1250-1260, Scalini, 1989, p.85), the Autrée d'Espagne, the Codex Marciano XII in the Marciana Library in Venezia and various other artworks. Around 1280 AD, the structure of the Great Helm underwent an evolution, especially in the area of the central Italy. It went through various changes, as can be seen on the seal of Sozzo Guicciardini (Scalini, 1989, p.87), in which the simple ventilation holes were substituted by squared windows of larger dimensions. Fair condition. [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions website.]

1st-5th century AD. A glazed wooden display case with mounted bronze military fittings comprising: two panels of squama scale armour; two buckles with openwork plates and a fitting of the related belt; a large belt buckle with scrolls; an amphora belt strap end; five propeller belt stiffeners; a lorica segmentata lobate hinge; a belt buckle with embossed emperors; a double buckle fastener; reputedly from Germanic provinces. See Bishop, M. C., Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 2006; Radman Livaja, I., Militaria Sisciensia, Finds of the Roman military equipment in Sisak in the holdings of the archaeological Museum in Zagreb, Zagreb, 2004; Miks, C., Studien zur Romischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, I-II Banden, Rahden, 2007; Appels A., Laycock S., Roman buckles and military fittings, Witham, 2007; D'Amato, R., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier, London, 2009. 955 grams total, 30 x 21cm (11 3/4 x 8 1/4"). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019); one item acquired from Saxby's Coins, Tamworth, UK, in 2015; and for the armour from H. Vincent McCarthy, Bournemouth, UK, in 2001; accompanied by copies of two original invoices. A superb collection of military kit ranging through all periods of the classical and late Roman military equipment: the lobate hinge of a Corbridge type segmentata introduces the defensive protections of the 1st century AD, while the later protection is represented by the 2nd-3rd century semi-rigid scale armour wide fragments, constructed from scales wired to each of their four neighbours, above and below as well to either side. The pieces of intricate belt openwork mounts well exemplify the Antonine and early Severian belt styles, while the belt stiffeners and the beautiful massive buckle and amphora shaped pendant give us a wonderful idea of late Roman military belts, as well as the decorative double fastener and the magnificent buckle with the image of the West and East Emperors. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils. [15] Very fine condition.

From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019); acquired on the UK art market from 1960-2000.A superb collection of military horse harness mounts ranging through a wide period of the classical and late Roman military equipment: the group is composed of two magnificent 3rd century bridle cheek pieces, with various kidney and pelta-shaped cut-outs; a 3rd century openwork bridle fastener; a 2nd-3rd century openwork phalera, five harness junction elements (bronze belt hooks) of 4th-6th century AD (Flinders-Petrie, 1927, pl.XVIII, no.11).
