A RARE NORTH ITALIAN HALF ARMOUR, LATE 16TH / LATE 17TH CENTURY, FOR USE BY THE SWISS PAPAL GUARD comprising associated morion formed in one piece with a rounded crown rising to a high roped medial comb decorated to either side of its crest and base with incised lines, and a 'swept' integral brim turned down at each side and rising to an acute point at the front and the rear (the left of the brim cracked, each point damaged), the base of the crown pierced at the nape with a pair of holes for the attachment of a missing plume-holder and encircled by eleven (originally eighteen) round-headed lining-rivets with brass rosette-washers, collar formed of a single plate front and rear (the former with a small riveted patch at the left shoulder), each flanged upwards at the neck-opening to receive one or more additional lames (now missing), their roped lower edges originally ribbed but subsequently flattened, breastplate and backplate each with an outward-flanged lower edge, the former of 'peascod' form fitted to either sides of its main plate and at the inner edges of the movable gussets of its arm-openings with working-life extensions, the latter struck at the centre of its neck-opening with the mark of a crowned escutcheon charged with three pheons(?), and large symmetrical pauldrons each formed of six lames overlapping outwards from the third and connected by a turner to a tubular upper cannon cut away diagonally at the inside of its lower edge, the main edges of the armour decorated with roped inward turns, accompanied on the cuirass and the morion by recessed borders, the subsidiary edges the pauldrons decorated with incised lines, all surfaces except those of the morion decorated with deeply incised acanthus scrolls, for the most part arranged symmetrically and involving at the top of the breastplate a grotesque mask embossed in relief, the decoration originally gilt on a blackened ground (now extensively pitted, patinated and worn), on a fabric-covered stand Provenance: The Hon. Rose Talbot, sold Christies, London, 14 April 1976, lot 75, pl. 5. The armour can be recognised from its distinctive decoration as one of a series made for the use of the Swiss Papal Guard. Other armours of the series are to be found in the Museo Civico L. Marzoli, Brescia, Inv. Nos 860, 927-8, 941 & 947 (Rossi & Carpegna 1969, Cat. Nos 22-5 & 44, pp. 22-3 & 30), the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Acc. No. Hen.M.1.2.a-c-1933 (Eaves 2002, pp. 123-5, ill), the J. W.Higgins Armoury Museum, Worcester, Mass. Inv. No. 1137 (Grancsay 1961, p. 82, ill), and the Art Institute, Chicago (Karcheski 1995, p. 68, ill). Their decoration has in all cases been applied in the late 17th century to elements of late 16th and early 17th century North Italian make. The mark struck on the backplate is probably that of its owner. It is also to be found on the examples in the Fitzwilliam and the Higgins Museum's . The associated morion is one of a series obtained by the London dealer W. H. Fenton in Ireland at some time before 1933. Others of the series are now to be seen in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, Inv. No. IV. 449 (Dufty & Reid 1968, pl. CII, c), the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Acc. Nos Hen.M.32, 33 & 34-1933 (Eaves 2002, pp. 153-5, ill), and the Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery.

A COMPOSITE SOUTH GERMAN THREE-QUARTER FIELD ARMOUR, SECOND HALF OF THE 16TH CENTURY comprising burgonet with one-piece skull rising to a high roped medial comb and projecting forward to a short integral peak pierced at its rear with a triangular hole to accommodate a missing sliding nasal-bar now represented only by its later retaining-staple and locking-bar attached by rivets at the brow, its nape fitted with a plume-holder and short neck-guard of two lames, each of its sides fitted with a later applied comb roped en suite with the medial one, and a later hinged cheek-piece pierced with circular ventilation-holes and fitted at its lower edge with a separate neck-lame, 'almain' collar formed of four lames front and rear and three more at each side extending over the top of the shoulder, heavy breastplate with medially-ridged main plate projecting forward over the belly, dipping gently at the centre of the waist, fitted at each arm-opening with a movable gusset, at the right of the chest with a pair of modern staples for the attachment of a lance-rest and at its flanged lower edge (repaired with small riveted internal patch) with a fauld of three lames (associated and pierced with three later holes), the lowest of which bears two pendent tassets nearly forming a pair, each of six lames extending to just above the knees, backplate formed in one piece boxed at its centre and each side, and fitted at its lower edge with a fauld of one lame, and spaudlers each of eight lames extending to just above the elbow, the main edges of the armour decorated with file-roped inward turns accompanied in the case of the collar and cuirass by recessed borders, the subsidiary edges of the spaudlers bordered by single incised lines (lightly patinated overall; the rivets in some cases replaced by brass-capped upholstery-nails; the collar showing some minor chips and cracks). This armour is for a man of notably large proportions, its fine collar in particular is of exceptional girth. The slight step in the neck-flange of the burgonet is a feature seen in higher quality Augsburg helmets of the late 16th century.

AN ITALIAN MORION IN THE 'SPANISH' FASHION, CIRCA 1580 formed in one piece with an almond-shaped crown rising to a short 'stalk' and a flat integral brim projecting to an obtuse point front and rear (the latter pierced with a later wiring-hole, the left side cracked and repaired with a riveted internal patch), its edge decorated with a file-roped inward turn accompanied by a recessed border, and the base of the crown encircled by twelve round-headed lining-rivets with brass rosette-washers (one missing, one small hole); and A PAIR OF FINGERED GAUNTLETS IN 16TH CENTURY STYLE, MODERN, (each with losses) (2)

Edwardian christening mug with embossed busy country scene, gadrooned rim, scrolling handle, raised above a circular flared footed base. Height including handle 3 inches (8cm), weight 2.64ozt (82gms). Hallmarked Birmingham 1903, sponsors mark indistinct. The christening mug is in fairly good condition. There are a large amount of surface scratches to the whole, as well as a lot of tarnishing. There are some slight shallow dents but these are not serious. The embossed decoration is rubbed which has resulted in some of the detail being lost, especially on the face and bodies of the figures. However, in the main the decoration is visible and relatively undamaged. The bottom of the mug is dented which means it stands slightly unsteadily. There are some tiny cracks to the top end of the handle, along with a patch of green discolouration. The hallmark is rubbed but still legible, although the sponsor's mark is indistinct. There are some pits and patches of solder on the inside of the mug where the handle is joined on.

A 1920's duel glass cosmetic pot with engine turned and blue enamel lids. Hallmarked Birmingham 1928, sponsors mark reads AC. The cosmetic pot is in overall good condition. The, probably molded, glass base has some small air bubbles, imperfections, surface scratches, and small chips to the whole, but no serious damage. The nail buffer is in good condition but is showing some signs of wear. The enamel is all intact, but the silver is discoloured in places and has some quite bad areas of tarnish. The suede buffer is dirty and has a ripped patch, and the wire used to keep it in place is bent but intact. The lid for the round pot is more damaged. There is a large chip in the enamel which has been covered over with what appears to be blue paint. Again, the silver is a little discoloured. Both hallamarks are rubbed but legible.

Royal Mathematical School - John Dray. Manuscript copy of The Elements of navigation by John Robertson copied by John Dray. c. 1756. 4to., 417 p., illustrations (some hand coloured) , diagrams, with 16 drawings (including folding), contemporary cloth, splits in plates to face p.,47, 186 & 306, small patch of worming in lower margin, possibly lacking a frontispiece and drawings between 163 and 164, 311and 312. . Note: A beautifully handwritten manuscript copy by John Dray a pupil at Christ's Hospital. John Lucy Dray, who was born in 1742, was clothed (admitted) to Christ's Hospital in April 1751. On leaving, he was "taken & discharged from the charge of the Hospital forever by Captain John Bladen Tinker, Commander of His Majesties Ship Dover, with whom he is to serve seven years. Christ’s Hospital was founded in 1552. as a result of the vision of King Edward VI, assisted by Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of London, and Sir Richard Dobbs, Lord Mayor of London. Christ's Hospital was bestowed with its second Royal Charter by Charles II in 1673. This charter specifically created the Royal Mathematical School whose original purpose was to train mathematicians and navigators who would progress into careers as Naval officers or merchant seafarers. Samuel Pepys, Secretary to His Majesty's Navy and from 1699 Vice President of Christ's Hospital, featured strongly in his considerable contribution to Christ's Hospital. Isaac Newton, John Flamsteed, Edmund Halley and Jonas More contributed to plans for the course of study of the new school within the Foundation. One of the tasks set to pupils at the final stage of their time in the School was copying Robertson's book. The drawings are accomplished and excuted with considerable style. The School has about half a dozen surviving copies though mostly from the later half of the 18th century.
