The Great Train Robbery - ' Beyond The Fringe '64 ' - dual signed LP vinyl record featuring the famous Fringe sketch 'The Great Train Robbery' with Alan Bennett & Peter Cook. Signed to the rear by Great Train Robbers Bruce Reynolds (1931-2013) and Ronnie Biggs (1929-2013). Both signed in black ink, undedicated. Obtained personally by the vendor. Unique piece of Great Train Robbery memorabilia.  The Great Train Robbery was the robbery of £2.6 million from a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London on the West Coast Main Line in the early hours of 8 August 1963, at Bridego Railway Bridge, Ledburn, near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, England. After tampering with the lineside signals in order to bring the train to a halt, a gang of fifteen, led by Bruce Reynolds, attacked the train. Other gang members included Gordon Goody, Buster Edwards, Charlie Wilson, Roy James, John Daly, Danny Pembroke, Jimmy White, Ronnie Biggs, Tommy Wisbey, Jim Hussey, Bob Welch and Roger Cordrey, as well as three men known only as numbers "1", "2" and "3". A 16th man, an unnamed retired train driver, was also present. With careful planning based on inside information from an individual known as "The Ulsterman" (erroneously named as Patrick McKenna in 2014), the robbers escaped with over £2.6 million (equivalent to £53.5 million today). The bulk of the stolen money was never recovered. Though the gang did not use any firearms, Jack Mills, the train driver, was beaten over the head with a metal bar. Mills' injuries were severe enough to end his career. After the robbery, the gang hid at Leatherslade Farm and famously used the money in a game of Monopoly - unwittingly incriminating themselves whilst doing so as the Monopoly set was used to garner finger prints of the suspects and was instrumental in the Police arresting most of the gang. The ringleaders were sentenced to 30 years in jail.

B13 RARE Philip West ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWING "Final Concept Sketch - A Bat Out Of Hell" signed by Philip West and dated 1998. This is an original hand drawn final concept sketch by one of the world's finest aviation artist featuring a stunning image of a North American F-86 Sabre, sometimes called the Sabrejet, transonic jet fighter. The Sabre is best known as the United States' first swept wing fighter that could counter the swept-wing Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights in the skies of the Korean War (1950-1953), fighting some of the earliest jet-to-jet battles in history. Considered one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in that war, the F-86 is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras. Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the 1950s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces until the last active operational examples were retired by the Bolivian Air force in 1994.

A RETRO SAPPHIRE AND GOLD BRACELET, BY CAZZANIGA, ROMA, CIRCA 1940The large bombé gold links with reeded detailing throughout, accented in the centre by circular-cut sapphires within star motifs, mounted in 18K gold, Italian assay mark for 'Giorgio Angelo Cazzaniga in Rome between 1934-1944', with original maker's case, length 20.3cmThe firm of Cazzaniga was founded by Angelo Giorgio Cazzaniga (d. 1976) in 1920. Born in Rome, he grew up in the villa belonging to a cousin of Tsar Nicholas II as his father was manager of the prince’s estate. His childhood and adolescence were therefore spent surrounded by the vast collection of artworks belonging to the young Russian patron, Prince Abamelek Lazarev. This upbringing proceeded to have a profound impact on both his initial choice of career as an apprentice goldsmith in Milan as well as the creation of his jewellery pieces later in life. He opened his first jewellery store near the Trevi fountain, in the heart of Rome in 1929. Cazzaniga’s pieces encapsulated the art of classical and Baroque Rome and were inspired by the sculpture of Bernini and Francesco Borromini, amongst others. The influence of his childhood was never far away. The elaborate ornamental and almost architectural style of Cazzaniga’s jewellery throughout his career reveals a unifying motif which shows a continuous underlying reference to the artistic foundations of his youth.Giorgio’s two sons Paolo and Roberto followed him into the jewellery business, with both opening their respective stores under the same name. Paolo started his own company in Rome in 1973 and Roberto opened a store in 1979 on New York’s Madison Avenue, but this subsequently closed in 1981.Paolo continued to run the firm he started in Rome under the Cazzaniga name. He continued the legacy left by his father creating jewellery in a neo-Baroque style. Paolo worked most often in gold with precious gemstones. His primary inspiration derived from studying the artwork of the Byzantine era, the Florentine Renaissance and just like his father, Baroque Rome. During the 1970’s, the house of Cazzaniga experienced a revival and heightened success on the international scene under the directorship of Paolo. Paolo inherited an innate passion for jewellery that was inherited from his father, and he has made it his mission to dedicate his time to solidifying what has become known as a distinct Cazzaniga style.Today the Gioielleria Cazzaniga is led by Paolo and his son Giorgio, the latter of whom represents the third generation in a line of talented jewellers and goldsmiths. Together, the duo caters for a clientele that is largely international and collaborate with the best representatives of Italian goldsmiths to continue the Cazzaniga legacy.Below is an original sketch by Cazzaniga’s founder Angelo Giorgio Cazzaniga from the jeweller’s archives. The two sketches shown date to the early 1950s. The drawing on the right displays the workings of a model design almost identical to the bracelet in this sale, and exhibit the fine draughtsmanship of the jeweller, even in the initial stages of his designs. Written below the drawing on the right are the original dimensions and price point decided by Cazzaniga. Translated from the Italian, the text says, ‘7 pieces at 20cm’, with the price set at £4000 Italian Lire, the equivalent to around €30,000 today.Condition Report: Some minor dents visible under a bright light sourceSapphires: of blue hue, medium tone, bright and well matched in colour with good transparency, some abrasions on a couple visible under a bright light sourceThe reverse shows some possible minor signs of repair - ask the jewellery department for additional imagesMaker's mark for Cazzaniga Roma with fasces for period 1934-1944, RomaNormal signs of wear, overall in good condition,Total gross weight approx. 123.66g

This album documents Masters' service on board HMS Chesapeake from 1857-1861 and provides a detailed account of the topography and people encountered during these years. Most extensively covered in this album are his time served in India, being present at the Indian Mutiny (1857-1858), and in China (1859-1861). However, there are also watercolours showing that the Chesapeake travelled from England to South Africa, up the Gulf of Aden into the Red Sea, around Sri Lanka, and on to Malaysia, China and Japan, finishing in Mauritius. During the Second Opium War (1856-1860), Masters commanded the Second Battalion Royal Marines Light Infantry (RMLI) at the attack on the Peiho Forts, 25 June 1859. This album includes a watercolour of these very same forts on the date of the failed attack. He was severely wounded in this engagement and received a mention in despatches. Masters returned to England after this expedition and for many years served as the Barrackmaster at the Chatham Division, RMLI. Here he continued to sketch and draw day-to-day life in the military. A large collection of his work is now held in the National Museum of the Royal Navy. Not only is this album the most significant collection of works by Masters to come to auction, it is also offers a rare insight into a period a great historical importance.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

They were re-created by Patrick in 1965, in the style of the original sculptures, carved in 1827, which were in pieces, with large parts so badly weather-damaged as to be unrecognisable. Patrick also helped in the restoration of Blenheim Palace.(from his obituary in The Guardian 05.04.2011)
