Lot 2078
This ruggedly handsome example of the most iconic of all WWII vehicles was reputedly delivered for use by the US forces in November 1943. It was acquired by the previous keeper (a well-known member of the MVCC) in 1990 from a Greek army surplus sale and recommissioned in time to participate in the '50 + One' Jeep celebration of 1992. The vendor currently regards 'HVS 837' as featuring 'good' Green paintwork, 2.2-litre engine and four-speed manual gearbox and electrical equipment, and 'original' bodywork. He is offering the left-hand drive Jeep complete with numerous photos, MOTs from 1992 all the way through to 2013, and the all-important: spade, folding shovel, jerry can, rifle holder, spare wheel, canvas tilt and doors, plus rear lap belts - there's even the option of a standard issue carbine rifle by separate negotiation. The mileage of this splendid WWII item of Americana currently stands at an unwarranted 6,442.

Lot 200
A RARE GERMAN 16TH CENTURY WHEEL LOCK RIFLE, the octagonal steel barrel fitted with an inlaid bronze sight, the cherrywood stock fully extending to the muzzle and profusely inlaid with engraved bone depictions of angels, nymphs, foliate bands and lion masks, the butt with a panel depicting Adam and Eve and the expulsion from Eden, together with Cain and Abel, dated 1584. 109cm longNB: See Peter Finer catalogue 1996, No.70 for a similar stockwork, most probably by the same hand.Provenance: Clay P. Bedford Collection, Scotchdale, USA.Wheel locks are amongst the earliest and most ingenious methods of ignition system in antique firearms, coming to prominence in the early 16th century until the middle 17th century. The main centre of production was Germany, although they were popular in Italy and France. The lock employs a serrated metal disc which is linked by a chain to a powerful V spring. The wheel has a protruding steel shank which, when turned, compresses the main spring.Wheel locks could be made in any size, however the skill and craftsmanship required made them very expensive weapons. As a consequence, they are usually highly decorative and elaborate as a way of displaying their owner's great wealth and taste, as is evidenced in the example above. This hunting rifle has a rifled barrel. The grooves visible at the muzzle extend down the length of the barrel and have a twist as they extend. This spins the ball gyroscopically, stabilising the projectile and producing a more accurate shot.Rifling was invented sixty-four years before this rifle was made in 1520 by a Nuremberg armourer by the name of August Kotter. This system, however, was expensive and was not widely in use until the mid-19th century and the advent of the industrial age.
