Lot 363
South Germany, probably Augsburg, circa 1500-1520 A.D. Intended for a religious statue, with foot-shaped recesses to the top face; the left side with a painted polychrome scene comprising Saint Jerome and Saint Ambrose with Saint Michael holding a sword and scales for weighing souls; the right side painted with a scene comprising Saint Gregory the Great, Saint Augustine and Saint John the Evangelist; both scenes set with gilt architectural frame; the reverse with the Holy Spirit depicted as a dove. Cf. for similar style of painting Cuneo, P.F., ‘The Basilica Cycle of Saint Katherine's Convent: Art and Female Community in Early-Renaissance Augsburg’ in Woman's Art Journal, Vol. 19, No. 1 (Spring - Summer, 1998), pp. 21-25, figs.1-3; see also Christ and Mary as intercessors before God the Father, painting of Hans Holbein the Elder, in Bavarian State Painting Collection, inventory no. L.1507.1.95 kg, 16.5 cm high (6 1/2 in.). Ex Julius Böhler Ltd, Munich, Germany, 2000. Ex central London gallery.Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.11741-202052. The base probably housed a statue of Christ. The painting, although mannerist, reflects the style of the Germanic Renaissance. The saints surrounding the dove are easily recognisable by their attributes. St Jerome as a penitent was often represented in front of a crucifix, next to him the hourglass and the skull, symbolising fleeing time leading to death. St Ambrose is represented with his whip, defending people from the enemies of the faith. St Michael is holding the sword and balance and St Augustine is represented with the child who appeared to him on the seashore admonishing him. Many representations from the Middle Ages show Pope St Gregory the Great (of a noble family and pontiff from 590 to 604) with the Dove of the Holy Spirit perched on his shoulder. St John the Evangelist is represented here according to the golden legend of Jacopo da Varazze, with a snake and a chalice.

Lot 1038
5th-9th century A.D. Each scale B-shaped, slightly convex sides, two equally spaced circular holes along the straight edge. Cf.

The Kusmirek Collection, UK. This object is not typical of 'squama' which usually has scales that are rectangular with one rounded end, and numerous attachment holes at the square end in pairs.

Lot 1044
19th-20th century A.D. Sword bayonet for use with the 8 mm M1886 Lebel rifle; fitted with 'German silver' grip scales; original scabbard. See Capwell, T., Knives, Daggers and Bayonets, Lorenz, 2009, p.190, for type and details.532 grams, 65 cm (25 5/8 in.). Property of a Luton, UK gentleman, by inheritance. Known affectionately as “Rosalie” to French troops, the M1886 was the French mainstay during WWI and many were still in service at the Fall of France in 1940. The Lebel also saw extensive use worldwide by native troops in the French colonies. The M1886 introduced the distinctive cruciform blade, which remained a feature of most French bayonets until 1956. This example was made in 1890 at the Manufacture D'Armes St. Etienne (MAS). The scabbard was made by Manufacture Nationale d'Armes de Châtellerault (MAC). This is an early example that escaped later modifications, retaining its long blade, quillon, and raised round press stud. The silver-alloy grip is removable. [No Reserve]

Lot 1109
Dated 1919 A.D. Stamped 2642 in Thai numerals at top of blade with 'tiger mask' mark for Siam, together with original British marks, fitted with wood grip scales and spring release button; the scabbard with original throat and chape, modified in Thailand to replace the original leather main section. See Capwell, T., Knives, Daggers and Bayonets, Lorenz, 2009, p.190, for general type and details.726 grams, 58.5 cm (23 in.). Property of a Luton, UK gentleman, by inheritance. The Type 62 is a re-badged British Pattern 1907 bayonet. Siam purchased 10,000 SMLE rifles and Pattern 1907 bayonets from Britain in 1919 to equip the 'Wild Tiger Corps', royal bodyguard of Vajiravudh, King Rama VI (reigned 1910–1925). The tiger figural on the ricasso is representative of the Wild Tiger Corps. Year 2462 on the Buddhist Calendar corresponds to 1919. SMLE rifles and Pattern 1907 bayonets were taken from British stocks, refurbished by Birmingham Small Arms (BSA), and remarked with Siamese markings. The bayonets were shipped with standard steel-mounted leather scabbards. However, the leather rapidly deteriorated in the tropical climate, so the Siamese made a replacement steel scabbard body to which the original steel mounts were brazed. [No Reserve]
Lot 1117
2nd-3rd century A.D. Mixed group of semi-rigid bronze scales with scalloped lower edges, pierced for attachment; together with two small panels of articulated lamina scales. Cf. Bishop, M.C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 2006, p.139, fig.84.2, for similar.30 grams total, 10-65 mm (3/8 - 2 1/2 in.). Acquired in the late 1980s. The Kusmirek Collection, UK. A new form of rigid scale-armour, typified by pieces found in Britannia (Corbridge, Carlisle), Pannonia (Musov), Moesia (Iron Gates) and in various other provinces of the empire, was introduced earlier in the Antonine Period, and continued for all of the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D. The new body protection was realised with scales attached by wire to each of their four neighbouring scales. These new scales tended to be not only very small, but also long and slender and needed to be carefully shaped around the neck. [23+, No Reserve]
Lot 1171
Dated 1940 A.D. Comprising a knife bayonet for use with the Second World War 8 mm Mauser Kar 98k rifle; fitted with resin grip scales and spring release button; scabbard with original throat and chape. See Capwell, T., Knives, Daggers and Bayonets, Lorenz, 2009, p.180, for general type and details.588 grams, 40.5 cm (16 in.). Property of a Luton, UK gentleman, by inheritance. The bayonet offered here is an example of the third pattern of bayonet manufactured in 1927-1930 and again in the period 1934-1935, with this specific example having been produced in 1935. In an attempt to keep their identities a secret, the makers of these weapons stamped the blades with a letter/number code, a practice they repeated for the scabbards. This scabbard bears the code for 1943, although it was double struck. Both blade and scabbard in this instance were produced by E. & F. Horster & Co. of Solingen, and the weapon is apparently a pre-war example that was captured and reworked in eastern Europe, likely Yugoslavia. The plastic grips such as those used on our bayonet, and typically found on M1884/98 III bayonets, are made from a phenolic resin. Owing to a shortage of such resin in Germany during WWII a substitute moulding compound known as type 41, which contained a much lower percentage of resin, was adopted in January 1943. [No Reserve]
Lot 1976
Circa 17th century A.D. Of curved form and with remaining rivets for attachment of the tang-scales; single-edged blade with sunburst and ring-and-dot motifs to the lower edge on one face, joined by plain bands.

Lot 647
1st-4th century A.D. Comprising four bed finials, each with a bell-shaped body and baluster style finial; hollow to base. See Cavalieri, M., 'Ipotesi sulla produzione bronzea dell’Emilia occidentale in età romana' in Santoro, S., Artigianato e produzione nella Cisalpina. Parte I. Proposte di metodo e prime applicazioni, Firenze, 2004, pp.173-198, fig.5.1.18 kg total, 9.6-10.1 cm (3 3/4 - 4 in.). Acquired before 2000. From the collection of a European gentleman living in the UK. The Romans, like the Greeks, ate whilst reclined on beds. The eating bed (lectus triclinaris) was a luxury furniture item crafted by carpenters. From the 2nd century B.C., Romans started to create 'lecti aerati, inargentati, inaurati, eborati, testudinei,' i.e. beds made of wood and covered with bronze, silver, gold and ivory fittings or with scales of other precious material. Such elements were sometimes sculpted in the shape of an animal protome, or were simply bell-shaped, like our specimens. [4]
Lot 773
2nd-3rd century A.D. Oval-shaped with scene depicting the goddess Ceres seated right, holding a cornucopia and ears of corn with scales below, wearing a modius. 0.93 grams, 14 mm (1/2 in.). Altstetten collection since 1969. Ceres was a goddess of agriculture, maternal relationships and fertility, and represents transition, motherhood and nurture. She was also the only one of ancient Rome's agricultural deities to be listed amongst the Dii Consentes, the Roman equivalent to the Twelve Olympians of Greek mythology.
