[Albert, by the Grace of God, Count of the Rhineland Palatinate, Duke of Bavaria], Reverse, a drowning man reaches up to a hand extended towards him from the clouds, OPERI. MANVM: TVARVM: PORRIGES DEXTERAM, medal approx. 32mm, (Georg Habich, Die deutschen Schaumunzen des XVI Jahrhunderts, Munich, 1929-34, No. 3596; L. Forrer, Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, London, 1904-30, Vol. VI, pp 722-723; Sammlung Lanna, Rudolph Lepke, Berlin, 16-19 May, 1911, No. 816). Suspended from a gilt metal stand. Albert VI of Bavaria, (13 April 1584 - 5 July 1666), der Leuchtenberger, Landgraf von Bayern-Leuchtenberg, was the son of William V, Duke of Bavaria and Renata of Lorraine. He married Mechthilde von Leuchtenberg (24 October 1588 - 1 June 1634) in 1612, and they had five children. Between 1651-1654 Albert was the regent for his young nephew Elector Ferdinand Maria, Elector of Bavaria. The authorship of the medal is not determined, Habich believes it to be Alessandro Abondio (c. 1580-c. 1653). Abondio worked for Duke Albrecht VI and surviving records attest to a long personal relationship between the artist and his ducal patron and wax portraits of the Duke are recorded. Forrer favours Paul Zeggin (fl c. 1623-1666, when he is believed to have died) who is recorded as producing a number of gold medals all set in enamelled frames. Habich records just two specimens of the medal, both gold and both set in frames, one in Munich where the frame is elaborate, the other in Munich with a simpler frame. The Lanna sale records a third example.

AN INFANTRY COMPANY OFFICER`S EPAULETTE AND WAIST SASH, CIRCA 1816-21, the epaulette`s gold lace strap terminating in a crescent of twisted gold wire and loose gold bullions over a yellow fringe; lacking its underneath reinforcing strap, some bullions detached; the sash of crimson netted silk with silk tassels, 67 inches long and 7 inches wide (unstretched) or 3 inches wide when folded. The styles of this epaulette and sash place them in the second decade of the nineteenth century and their provenance makes it likely that both were worn by Lieutenant John Hart in one of the line infantry regiments in which he served from 1816 to 1821. Between 1810 and 1829, company officers of line infantry regiments wore a single epaulette on the right shoulder (although there were many regimental and other exceptions to this rule): thus, this epaulette may have constituted Hart`s badge of rank once he had left the 52nd and before he joined the 4th Light Dragoons. Of the line infantry regiments in which Hart served 1816-21, the officers of both the 74th and 86th wore gold lace on their coatees and thus wore gold lace epaulettes: this epaulette therefore seems most likely to relate to Hart`s service in one of those two regiments; the form of the sash makes it most likely to have been worn by Hart in a line infantry regiment, rather than one of light infantry, whose sashes might be expected to have been of specific `light infantry` form.
A COMPANY OFFICER`S COATEE OF THE LONDONDERRY LEGION, CIRCA 1829-38, of scarlet cloth with dark blue collar and cuffs and gold lace; gilt metal half-domed buttons - by Charles Clancy of Dublin - bearing the embossed device of a castle within a circlet containing the words NO SURRENDER 1688; with provision for an epaulette on both shoulders (some staining and moth damage). An Internet genealogical source states that John Hart was `Commandant of the City of Derry Yeomanry` but this is unsubstantiated. This coatee`s facing colours and button design and colour are the same as those on a sergeant`s jacket in the National Museum of Ireland [Accession Number 1913/226], that jacket and its accompanying sash having been originally catalogued as being of the Co. Londonderry Militia. However, the facing colours of the Londonderry Militia until 1880 were primrose yellow and from 1830 onwards its lace colour would have been silver; its badges and buttons did not resemble the button design of this coatee, the invocation to `No Surrender` on which definitely associates the coatee with the city of Londonderry, or Derry. The Commandant of the Londonderry Legion, a large volunteer infantry unit - known in Ireland as `yeomanry` - originally raised in 1796 and thought still to be in existence in the 1830s, was the Rt. Hon Sir George Fitzgerald Hill, baronet, (1763-1839), who was associated with the Hart family through marriage, via the Beresford family, and through owning neighbouring land in Co. Londonderry, including Culmore - of which Fort General G.V. Hart was governor 1820-32. It therefore seems most likely that this coatee was worn by John Hart, following his retirement from the regular Army in 1827, as an officer in the Londonderry Legion; the coatee is of the pattern worn by line infantry officers 1829-55. (Thanks to F. Glenn Thompson, Dublin, for his help in cataloguing this lot).
