* Attributed to Petr Brandl (1668-1735). Head of an Apostle, circa 1700, oil on canvas, head and shoulders portrait of a bearded older man wearing a heavy coat, face in half-profile to the left, areas of craquelure, very small chip (5 x 4 mm) to paint surface at top of head, heavily varnished, re-lined, canvas size 55.5 x 45.5 cm (22 x 18 ins), later gilt frame with framer’s label to verso (69 x 57 cm)QTY: (1)NOTE:A painter of the late Baroque, Petr Brandl was famous in his lifetime, but due to isolation behind the Iron Curtain rather forgotten until recently. A major collection of his work is held in the National Gallery of Prague, and the gallery is currently holding a major exhibition of Brandl’s work, Petr Brandl: The Story of a Bohemian. His work often employs strong chiaroscuro, areas of heavy impasto and very plastic as well as dramatic figures; he often modelled figures in clay before committing to canvas. The Head of an Apostle is typical of Brandl’s work - a full beard and a lined face, accentuated with the help of thick layers of paints, applied with energetic brushstrokes that help to capture the strong use of chiaroscuro.He painted numerous similar portraits of Apostles and Evangelists, including The Apostle Paul (National Gallery of Prague ascension number O 557), Simeon with the Infant Jesus (O 578), and Bust of a Discoursing Apostle (O 12889), all held in the collection of the National Gallery of Prague.The Apostle Paul is illustrated in Guide to the Picture Gallery of Prague Castle by Jaromir Neumann, number 65, page 67.We are grateful to Sir Timothy Clifford for the attribution and note for this lot.

The rare and particularly fine Second War 1944 ‘Photo Reconnaissance Unit’ D.F.C., ‘Malta 1940-41’ D.F.M. group of eight awarded to Maryland and Mosquito navigator, Flight Lieutenant J. H. Spires, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, a Blenheim veteran of the Battle of Britain, who went on to distinguish himself flying with some of the most important Reconnaissance Pilots of the Second World War. Spires was posted to No. 431 (General Reconnaissance) Flight on Malta immediately after the Battle of Britain, and here he crewed up with the soon-to-become-legendary ‘Six-medal Warburton’ - who was later described as ‘the most important pilot in the R.A.F.’ by Air Marshal Tedder. Together they were to fly ‘in Maryland AR.713 affectionately known as the “Sardine Tin”... shot up in the air, holed by bomb splinters on the ground, in flight it played “Whistlers Mother.”’ Spires and Warburton provided vital reconnaissance for the Taranto Raid - plotting the positions of the Italian battleships mere hours before the Fleet Air Arm carried out their famous Swordfish attack. Warburton made three sweeps over the fleet at 500 feet and lower, even though ‘the weather was so bad that the birds were walking and the fish were at anchor..... we flew around the harbour twice and plotted the ships... when all hell let lose - Flack, tracer the kitchen sink - the lot.... We went in hugging the water, and the “Ities” were ready and tracer bullets poured towards us, I thought how in the hell can they miss us, but they did and we counted the battleships together, one, two, three, four, five.’ This was not the last of Spires’ adventures with Warburton, as the flight were tasked with carrying out the reconnaissance for Operation Colossus - the first British airborne operation of the Second World War. Warburton and crew took photographs of the Tragino viaduct near Calitri in southern Italy, which was to be the target for ‘X’ Troop, from the near-suicidal height of 25 feet! Having left Malta, Spires then converted to the blue Mosquitos of the P.R.U. and saw out the remainder of the War in the skies above North West Europe. His swan song came when flying with arguably the finest Mosquito and P.R.U. pilot of them all - Wing Commander J. R. H. Merifield, D.S.O., D.F.C. and Bar - when the pair achieved two Atlantic flying records and a trans-Canadian record, flying Mosquito PR34 RG241 'K' in October 1945 Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1944’; Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (751252 Sgt. J. H. Spires. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star, 1 clasp, Battle of Britain; Air Crew Europe Star; Africa Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Air Efficiency Award, G.VI.R., 1st issue (Flt. Lt. J. H. Spires. R.A.F.V.R.) mounted as worn, cleaned, very fine (lot) £10,000-£15,000 --- D.F.C. London Gazette 7 November 1944. The original recommendation states: ‘This officer has an outstanding record as an operational navigator. Since the award of the D.F.M. he has completed many more operational sorties. He has flown on photographic reconnaissance’s over some of the most heavily defended targets in Germany and occupied Europe and has secured much valuable information. Throughout, Flight Lieutenant Spires has displayed skill, determination and great courage.’ D.F.M. London Gazette 17 June 1941. The original recommendation states: ‘While serving in Blenheims with 235 Squadron in the United Kingdom, Sergeant Spires took part in 55 operational flights which included reconnaissance flights over enemy occupied territory and escort duty. On four occasions, the aircraft met with opposition from German fighters. These flights amounted to a total of 157 hours operational flying. He was then posted to 69 Squadron based at Malta and between 1st November, 1940 and 12th February, 1941, has taken part in 38 reconnaissance flights, 28 of these flights were photographic reconnaissance of enemy territory. On seven occasions, the aircraft met with opposition from Italian fighters. He was also the Observer of the aircraft which successfully carried out the special Air Ministry reconnaissance of Southern Italy on 9th February, 1941 [the Tragino Aqueduct near Calitri, Southern Italy - prior to Operation Colossus being carried out by ‘X’ Troop, 10-11 February 1941, the latter being the first British airborne operation of the War], and again on 12th February, 1941. These flights amounted to a total of 160 hours operational flying. His total operational flying from the United Kingdom and Malta amounts to 317 hours. Without exception, the Captains of the aircraft in which Sergeant Spires has flown have the greatest faith in his abilities, which are definitely above the average. 27th May, 1941.’ John Henry Spires was born in Luton, Bedfordshire, in September 1920, and resided at 13 Montrose Avenue, Luton. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Observer Section) at Luton in May 1939. Spires was mobilised in September 1939, and carried out training at No. 6 Air Observers Navigation School, Cheltenham, and at No. 4 B. & G.S., West Freugh. Spires was posted for operational flying with 235 Squadron (Blenheims) as part of Coastal Command on 9 March 1940. The Squadron was tasked with fighter-reconnaissance duties, flying out of Detling and Bircham Newton. When the German invasion of the Low Countries began in May 1940, the squadron flew patrols over Holland and during the Battle of Britain was engaged in convoy protection and reconnaissance missions over the North Sea. In an interview given after the War, Spires commented on this period: ‘The emotion was unmistakable as John Spires spoke of the many friends who didn’t come home. “We would all go to the pub after a mission and then someone would say ‘Where’s old Charlie?’ “Someone else would say ‘He never made it today’. You would think ‘that could have been me.’ “I lost a lot of fine friends..... At the time I don’t think it registered. Survival was everything and King and Country meant everything. We were young, inexperienced and didn’t fully realise the danger,” he said. During the Battle of Britain, Mr Spires was a navigator in a Blenheim 5 used as a bomber/fighter. “We had to intercept enemy planes when they were flying back to Europe from England. But you needed a fair amount of luck and if your gunners were killed you were in trouble,” said the man who was shot down three times. “But it was the ground crew who kept us going,” he said. “We just did what we had to do throughout the war.” Spires was flying with Pilot Officer E. H. McHardy (of 248 Squadron) and L.A.C. Heaviside as gunner, when they shot down a Me110 three miles off Blankenberge, Belgium 18 May 1940. However, it was subsequently claimed that this may have been a French Potez 631.’ After the “Battle”, new friends in Malta - ‘Warby’ Warburton Spires continued to serve with the Squadron throughout the Battle of Britain, before being posted to No. 431 (General Reconnaissance) Flight on Malta at the end of October 1940. The latter was equipped with three Martin 167F Maryland light bombers, which were to provide the island with a reconnaissance facility able to operate over defended areas. Spires soon found himself in the ‘mix’ with the Australian pilot and C/O ‘Tich’ Whiteley, and the soon-to-become-legendary ‘Warby’ Warburton (later dubbed ‘the most important pilot in the RAF’ by...

J. ‘Chalky’ White, 78 Squadron, Royal Air Force, for his gallant rescue of a watchman on a drilling barge, in the midst of a violent storm, off Dubai Jetty, Persian Gulf, 25 January 1969. In a career of over 28 years, White amassed thousands of flying hours in at least 37 different aircraft Air Force Cross, E.II.R., reverse officially dated ‘1969’, and reverse additionally engraved ‘GO. 579681 M.

R.A.F.) mounted for wear, housed in a Worcestershire Medal Service Ltd leather case, generally very fine (lot) £6,000-£8,000 --- A.F.C. London Gazette 10 June 1969: ‘On 25th January 1969, Master Engineer White was briefed as winchman of the 78 Squadron Duty Search and Rescue helicopter crew, to attempt the rescue of a watchman from a drilling barge, with a 40 foot gantry on the stern, in difficulties half a mile off Dubai Jetty. A number of attempts at rescue had been made by various vessels from Dubai but, due to the violent sea state, they had all proved abortive. With a visibility of five nautical miles, the vessel was quickly located and found to be dragging its anchor in breakers approximately 300 yards from a lee shore. The generally rough sea, (sea state five) and the dragging effect of the one bow anchor caused the 80 foot barge to corkscrew violently and the gantry to gyrate furiously. The vertical movement of the bow was estimated to be twenty feet. With the barge lying head into wind, which at this time was gusting between 20 and 30 knots, the pilot found that, in the normal head-into-wind hover, the tail rotor of the Wessex helicopter was within feet of the top of the gyrating gantry and the first attempt was abandoned. Master Engineer White suggested that if the helicopter could be hovered 45 degrees out of wind this would keep the tail rotor away from the gantry and he would be willing to attempt a rescue. This was done and Master Engineer White started to winch down to the barge. However, due to lack of visual reference, the pilot was unable to maintain a steady hover and, although the winchman made contact with the barge, the rescue attempt had to be discontinued and Master Engineer White was winched back into the aircraft. Master Engineer White indicated that he would risk a further attempt at rescue, and the helicopter was brought into position at a much lower hover. Master Engineer White managed to obtain a foothold on the pitching deck and within a minute the survivor was secured and winched aboard the Wessex. During both winching operations, Master Engineer White was in grave danger of being dashed against the side or superstructure of the barge and, throughout the entire incident, he acted in the best tradition of the Service. He displayed complete disregard of personal safety and showed tenacity and courage well beyond the call of duty. The fact that both he and the remainder of the crew are only part-time Search and Rescue operators, with minimal training in the role, does much to emphasise his courage.’ 1 of 2 A.F.C’s awarded for the incident, as well as a Queen’s Commendation For Valuable Service In The Air. A.F.M. London Gazette 13 June 1957. The original recommendation states: ‘Flight Sergeant White has served with 511 Squadron, Royal Air Force Station, Lyneham, since March, 1952, as a flight engineer. For the last two years he has held an above average Transport Command category and at all times his work, keenness and efficiency have been an inspiration to all. On 6th October, 1956, he was flight engineer on a Hastings aircraft detailed for a flight from Lyneham to Luqa. As the aircraft crossed the English coast, the airspeed indicator suddenly failed to register. Flight Sergeant White investigated the failure and ascertained that no pressure was entering the instruments. By experimenting with lengths of alloy tubing, he produced a reading on the air speed indicator. Then, with the external rudder lock, webbing tape and tubing from the pressure head lines, he constructed a substitute pressure head and mounted it in the air-stream, through the starboard static vent access panel. The airspeed obtained appeared accurate with the power set and the aircraft was stalled to verify this. The result was exceedingly accurate. Flight Sergeant White’s remarkable ingenuity and knowledge of the aircraft resulted in the flight being continued to a safe landing at Luqa. Flight Sergeant White is an enthusiastic and thoroughly capable Air Engineer, who continues to perform outstanding work with his Squadron both in the air and on the ground. His resourcefulness on the flight to Malta is but one example of what could be expected of this aircrew Non-Commissioned Officer when face to face with danger or difficulty. His technical knowledge, combined with determination and natural ability, has done much to ensure aircraft serviceability and airborne efficiency. Flight Sergeant White’s devotion to duty and invaluable contribution to his Squadron and the Long Range Force are worthy of recognition.’ Peter Ernest John ‘Chalky’ White joined the Royal Air Force as an Apprentice Airframe Fitter at No. 1 School of Technical Training, Halton in August 1943. He joined the 47th Entry, and passed out in August 1946. White was posted for pilot training to No. 4 F.T.S., Heany, Southern Rhodesia in 1949, however, he was deemed unsuitable for flying and posted to No. 4 Technical Training School, St. Athan in September the following year. White remustered as a Flight Engineer in April 1951 and was posted for further training to No. 242 O.T.U., Dishforth. White served with 511 Squadron (Handley Page Hastings) at Lyneham, March 1952 - May 1957 (A.F.M.). He was posted to 216 Squadron (Comets) at Lyneham, and then served with 99 Squadron (Britannias) also based at Lyneham, from 1959. The latter was a Conversion Flight, and White served with them until February 1968. During his time with 99 Squadron he qualified as a Master Engineer and had amassed a total of over 8,000 flying hours world-wide. White retrained as a Helicopter Crewman at R.A.F. Odiham in March 1968, and was then posted to 78 Squadron (Wessex Helicopters) at Sharjah, Persian Gulf in June 1968. 78 Squadron were employed as a Search and Rescue unit, and it was whilst serving with them as a Winchman that White distinguished himself during the rescue of a watchman from a drilling barge off the Dubai Jetty, 25 January 1969 (A.F.C.) After a nine month tour, White returned to R.A.F. Odiham where he was to become an Instructor with the Helicopter Operational Training Flight in September 1970. He was to be involved in compiling the technical training syllabus for both pilots and crew of Puma helicopters. White had to take enforced retirement in August 1973, by which time he had completed over 28 years service and flown in at least 37 different types of aircraft. Master Engineer White died in January 1987.

Darth Maul used his iconic double-bladed lightsaber during the climactic fight against Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) in the Theed Palace on Naboo.Darth Maul was skilled in the ways of the dark side, creating the saberstaff as his signature weapon. Although the double-bladed lightsaber was first seen on screen in The Phantom Menace, it originated in the comic-book series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.This double-ended hilt, with orange aluminum blades wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve, is cast in resin, with machined film-specific steel end caps, and an internal steel core running through the weapon's body for weight and strength. It is finished in silver-color paint, with shades of dark grey to give depth to the detailing throughout, including the two ribbed hand grips and parts of the blade-emitter plate. Four static metallic-red activator buttons and four silver-color control lock buttons span the hilt's length, and there are three incorporated black rubber O-rings. The lot exhibits paint wear which has exposed the resin in places, and cracking on the rubber.
