In the context of this collection, it seems likely (although unconfirmed) that this is the uniform worn by Mickey Martin of the famous Dambusters Raid.Air Marshal Sir Harold Brownlow Morgan "Mickey" Martin, KCB, DSO & Bar, DFC & Two Bars, AFC (1918-1988) was an Australian bomber pilot and took part in Operation Chastise (The Dambusters Raid) on the night of 16/17 May 1943. He was described by journalist Sir Max Hastings as "one of the three great bomber pilots of the war". Martin had a liking for low-level flying which contributed to his selection for the operation in March 1943. On the night of 16/17 May 1943, he piloted the Lancaster bomber AJ-P "Popsie" in the first formation, which was to attack the Möhne Dam in Western Germany. Martin's Lancaster was hit during the attack but he successfully accomplished the bombing run and returned safely. He was awarded the DSO for his actions.

A rare sample box of gold, silver and other metallic threads on wooden reels, 'Giorgio Adamo Beckh', Nuremberg, circa 1750, the rectangular box covered in green book cloth, the front with brass push catch. The interior lined in original blue paper, the lid with two printed labels, one depicting the Virgin Mary standing astride an anchor within a leaf decorated frame and inscribed 'Fabrica Privilegiata di Lametta e Tirato d'oro e d'argento - Giorgio Adamo Beckh in Norimberga', the other with a crowned figure of justice flanked by Nubians in feather skirts and head dresses, one holding arrows, the other a bow, within a leaf scroll frame and inscribed 'Fabrica Privilegiata di Giorgio Adamo Beckh a Norimberga'. The lower section with four divisions inscribed in ink with A to M and further inscribed 'Silvered and Yellow Plate/Silvered and Yellow Wire/Coloured Plate/......', the reels over remnants of ribbons, and comprising thirty two reels most with thread, the front compartment containing paper skein holders, 20.5 x 11.2 x 3.2cms. This box appears to be a sample box for a travelling salesman. The labels in Italian coursly translate 'Privileged Factory - sharp blade to draw with gold and silver'. To create the metallic threads the appropriate metal was beaten into wafer thin sheets and then cut with a carefully prepared knife, the strip was then wrapped around the cotton thread. The label inscriptions probably equate to a 'guild mark', a 16th Century manuscript held by the Penn libraries (Ms Codex 1542) includes a pasted in receipt dated 1747 for silver and textiles with a print of St. Anthony on the back which is the Fabrica Privilegiata mark of a Milanese merchant Giacomo Gilardi, founder in 1689 of a wire factory in Allersberg (referred to as Allerspergo), Germany, about 15 miles south of Nuremberg. Although manufactured in Germany, the label text is for the Italian market, the addition of ink text describing and identifying the reels in English indicates it was perhaps intended for sale to English speakers on the Grand Tour.
