He was the son of the late Right Hon. James Stuart-Wortley, brother of the second Lord Wharncliffe. After leaving Eton and Merton College, Oxford, where he received his education, he studied art at Dusseldorf, and on returning to England enjoyed the unique privilege of being received into the studio of the late Sir John Millais; the only student whom that distinguished painter ever taught. Landscape at the outset engrossed his attention. His first success was a striking one. A picture of Wharncliffe Chase, with which he started his career as an exhibitor, was accepted by the Royal Academy, hung on the line, and found a purchaser in the Duke of Northumberland. Of his numerous sporting pictures mention may be made of Partridge Driving, painted at Lord Ashburton s Hampshire seat, The Grange, Northington, and now in his lordship s possession. 60 TWO OIL BOTTLES, one glass with a 1 3/4in. diameter spuriously signed WATSON BROS.

By 1816, due to problems with machinery, the production was aborted. Colonel Robert Lee, Superintendent of the Springfield Armory and Colonel Decius Wadsworth, of the Ordnance Office, began an initiative in 1817 to use the Model 1803 parts that were un-used for the Model 1817 Pistol. The only reason these pistols were manufactured was to rid the Armory of spare parts. The first 400 guns assembled utilised the locks from the 1803 Model rifle and the example represented here is one of these. In total only 1000 Model 1817 pistols were produced, and it is generally accepted that they represent one of the most desirable martial handguns available to the collector of US military handguns.

Further investigation by the esteemed author, Donald Dallas, in the course of researching his new book on the definitive history of John Dickson & Son (authorised by the Company), has established that the rifle was sent out to Manton and Co., Calcutta (Agents) on behalf of the Maharaj of Dholpur. C.B. H.H. Rana Nihal Singh, Maharaj of Dholpur was born in 1862 and began his rule on 9 February 1873, ruling over a 15-gun salute state of 1,156 square miles in Rajputana (Rajasthan), inhabited by 271,496 subjects. His mother was daughter of Maharaja Narender Singh of Patiala. An Honorary Major in the Central India Horse, he maintained a private army of 139 cavalry, 1588 infantry and 32 guns, and was actively involved in British operations on the North West Frontier in After his death, he was succeeded by his son, Rana Ram Singh at the tender age of 9 (born 1893) in It is therefore a sad likelihood that H.H. Rana Nihal Singh never set eyes on the rifle, instead his young son being the beneficiary of his father s commission. 909 WILLIAM MOORE & GREY A DOUBLE-BARRELLED 8-BORE ROTARY- UNDERLEVER HAMMERGUN, serial no. 5321, 36in. nitro reproved blued twist barrels, rib reengraved WILLIAM MOORE & GREY PICCADILLY.

Nils Astrup was born 7th June 1901 to a prominent Norwegian shipping family. Astrup studied law and once his degree was secured, he joined the family firm of Fearnley & Eger and was a partner by He held many senior posts pertinent to the industry, and acted as vice president of the Norwegian Shipowners Association from 1940 until 1945 and later held the same role with the International Shipowners Association from 1966 until Nils Astrup also had great influence beyond the world of shipping, and through a series of high profile directorships he was a prominent force in the development of Norwegian industry after the Second World War. In recognition of his efforts of bringing great prosperity to Norway in the postwar years, the country bestowed the Order of St. Olaf on him (Den Kongelige Norske St. Olavs Orden). It is Norway s only order of chivalry and is awarded to individuals as a reward for remarkable accomplishments on behalf of the country. After Nils Astrup died 29th September 1972 the gun passed to his son Halvor Nicolai Astrup (born 1939).

ALLEN 3,000-5,000 Provenance: The revolver comes with a letter from The National Army Museum with the following information from the Army lists regarding Colonel Charles Jefferys Watson Allen: It would appear that C.J.W. Allen was Ensign in the 15th (The Yorkshire East Riding) Regt. of Foot from 1850 and had reached the rank of Captain in that Regiment by In 1861 he acquired a Captaincy in the 2nd (Royal North British) Regiment of Dragoons. During the late 1860 s and 1870 s he was on half pay. It was only 1880 that he obtained the Colonelcy of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion of the 13th, the Prince Alberts (Somersetshire Light Infantry). This you will understand is a very different matter to being Colonel of the Regiment as a whole. This battalion was based at Taunton. The 15th Foot served in Ceylon from , though I have no information as to which officers were then present, or on the war service of C.J.W. Allen, if any. Colonel Charles Jefferys Watson Allen ( ) was born in to the Allen / Jefferys families, the Allens being a notable West Country family with traceable history back to the thirteenth century. The family home was Lyngford House near Taunton, built circa Col. C.J.W. Allen was a J.P and High Sheriff of Somerset in A predecessor of his, Judge Jefferys presided over the Bloody Assizes trial of The Duke of Monmouth and his supporters following his unsuccessful attempt to overthrow James II in the Monmouth Rebellion of No Lots AIRCRAFT 998 BOULTON & PAUL LTD. A GREAT WAR ERA 9FT. DIAMETER LAMINATED FOUR-BLADE WOODEN AIRCRAFT PROPELLER, of the type fitted to the F.E.2 pusher-type aeroplane, of multilaminated pine construction with mitred central hub embossed 'BOULTON & PAUL LTD., LP HP BEARDMORE FE2E B&P No. 3976', two original maker's plaques to the opposing blades and all four with copper sheathed tips, no apparent damage to leading edges (possible an older restoration) 3,500-4,500 Provenance: The vendor acquired this Lot several years ago from the family of its original owner who worked at Boulton & Paul's Norwich works beside the River Wensum. It is possible that the propeller was never fitted to an aeroplane (there are no creep marks on the mounting holes and leading edges clean) but more likely that it is an old restoration. The Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2b entered service in 1915 and apart from the fact that it was a biplane, employing a pusher rather than tractor type power arrangement, was wholly different from its two previous namesakes. From the outset the F.E.2 was envisaged as a fighter and, by the standards of the day, was a well-armed and nimble aircraft that compared favourably with the German's Fokker Eindecker (monoplane). However, aviation development was moving forward at a furious pace and the type had become obsolete as a day fighter by the end of The 160hp Beardmore, a development from the earlier 120hp version, was an inline six-cylinder, water-cooled aero engine used by many Great War era British aircraft (although ironically it was developed from an Austrian design). It was built by two firms for William Beardmore & Co. In all the firm supplied over 2,500 units which were well thought of, although it was noted that their serviceability was not as good as the earlier, lower-rated engine. The history of Boulton & Paul can be traced back to 1797 when William Moore set-up an ironmongery business in Norwich. In the ensuing decades the company became general agricultural engineers and also made prefabricated iron buildings for rural use (and later fabricated the huts for Scott's expedition to the South Pole). The firm's reputation was such that, as the threat of war grew, they were asked to build aircraft. The first of these, an F.E.2b flew from Mousehold Heath in 1915 and reached a top speed of 60mph. Boulton & Paul also built many Sopwith Camels (28 per week at the height of production) as well as the major framework of the R.101 airship. The aviation arm of the company was sold in the 1930s and the Norwich site continued until the late 1980s when it closed. 210

38 999 de HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT COMPANY A DH82A 'TIGER MOTH II' ex-r.a.f. AEROPLANE, CIVIL REGISTRATION G-AJTW, built at Hatfield in 1938 and taken-on-charge by 613 Squadron at Ringway the same year, constructor's serial no.82203, R.A.F. serial no.n6965, in R.A.F. drab camouflage over corn yellow with correct markings, TTAF since rebuild hrs, TTE hrs, new Hoffman propeller in 2010 (zero hrs), last flew June 1999 and was operated on a Private C of A, hangered in Norfolk during the course of its current 29 year ownership 40,000-60,000 Provenance: The vendor purchased this aircraft in June 1985 and has undertaken a great deal of research into her history. N6965 was completed at de Havilland's main Hatfield factory in 1938 to Air Ministry order /38 and fitted with a de Havilland Gipsy Major Series I engine rated at 130H.P. She entered service with 613 Squadron in July 1939 before spending a short time with 24 M.U. at Ternhill. In March 1940 she was re-allocated to 81 Squadron based at Mont Joie, France, who were serving with the British Expeditionary Force. The vast majority of Tigers were built for abinitio training but this aircraft was used for spotting purposes, liaising with ground units in northern France. With several sorties each day, the aircraft would fly towards where it was thought the Germans were located. Basically, once the crew (pilot and observer) had been shot at they'd plot their position and drop the information back to base, repeating this until a picture of how fast the German offensive was advancing could be seen. The advance was rapid and the ensuing evacuation of encircled British, French and Belgian troops from the beaches of Dunkirk is well documented. N6965 reportedly put down in a field near the coast and was given fuel by the farmer before taking-off for England. She was shot at by the enemy and sustained damage but flew on. The crew must have been hugely relieved as they crossed the coast at Dover, only to be fired on by the shore batteries there (in the early stages of the war the ack-ack defences had notoriously itchy trigger-fingers and the lessons in aircraft recognition were soon stepped-up!). She was transferred twice before joining 418 Squadron R.C.A.F. flying Mosquitos from Bradwell Bay in Essex. The Tiger Moth was used as a general squadron hack and remained on the Dengie Peninsula until being re-allocated, again as a hack, to No.13 O.T.U (Operational Training Unit) at Middleton St. George in December In March the following year she was involved in a flying accident and sustained Catagory B damage (which meant that the aircraft was repairable by the air force, but not at local unit level). To facilitate the repair she was transferred to No.60 M.U. at York with all work being completed and signed-out by August. After a brief spell back with the O.T.U. she was reallocated to R.A.F. Derby and the Elementary Flying Training School there. After a further two months back at Middleton St. George the aircraft was placed in storage at R.A.F. Kemble, pending disposal. She remained there until May 1947 before being struck-off-charge and sold to Short Brothers of Rochester (builders of the famous Sunderland anti-submarine flying boat which served with Coastal Command). Suitable young men were actively encouraged to take-up flying during the 1950s as the Air Ministry were very conscious that we'd had a shortage of trained pilots at the outbreak of hostilities in The Society of British Aircraft Constructors ran several clubs around the country and received a generous government subsidy to maintain a healthy pool of pilots. The Tiger Moth was put on to the civil register as G- AJTW and flew as a basic trainer from the airfields at Rochester and Newtownards before sustaining major damage in April 1955 during a forced landing near Southend. We can only be thankful that she survived at all; there was a great surplus of ex-military types available and many perfectly good aircraft of wood/dope construction were simply burnt. Instead however, she was put in storage and remainined there until being bought by the vendor in A full three year re-build then ensued and the R.A.F. gave their permission for the aircraft to wear her correct 81 Squadron military markings. All worked was signed-out and Tango Whisky was issued with a new C of A. After sitting on the ground for 33 years she returned to the air on 13th June The vendor has since put many enjoyable hours on the aircraft and she was well-known in the 1990s on the air show circuit. Literature: The aircraft is accompanied by all relevant logs, TNS, manuals and reports that track the aircraft during her current ownership. Not extant are logs dating to her time with Shorts. During her initial restoration, the engine was stripped and formally inspected to ascertain condition (former logs not being available). The C.A.A. signed the engine out at 1,000hrs which is where the vendor's log begins. She flew until June 1999 when a landing incident resulted in a ground loop and subsequent damage. The aircraft has been repaired but a deal of further attention and remedial work will be necessary before the aircraft can be deemed airworthy on either a C of A or Permit to Fly. All prospective bidders should have their engineer inspect the aircraft and make normal enquiries prior to the sale to satisfy themselves as to the work required. Regardless of the route chosen, a Star inspection will be required before any certificate is issued. The vendor is happy to show the aircraft to genuinely interested parties. Please contact Holt's in the first instance and we will effect the introduction. 211

39 SMALL ARMS SCHOOL CORPS The Small Arms School Corps (SASC) is a specialist unit in the British Army. They are responsible for overseeing training with Infantry weapon systems for all three services in the Armed Forces and the MOD Police. They are approximately one hundred and fifty in strength including reserves. Soldiers who wish to join the SASC have to be a serving soldier with Skill at Arms qualifications. Transfer into the Corps comprises of a six month selection process and demands a specialist level of instructional ability. The lowest Corps rank is Sergeant, which is attained immediately on completion of selection and a career in the Corps provides the opportunity for promotion to Lt Col. All Officers in the SASC are commissioned from the ranks. The SASC can trace its history back to the introduction of the new Minie rifle which was on issue to the British Army. The Officers responsible for the Introduction of the Minie were the Marques of Anglesey, the Master- General of the Ordnance until 1850 and Lord Hardinge. An Officer of distinction, Lord Hardinge was announced as the Master-General of the Ordnance on the fifth of March Hardinge understood the need for a Rifle to be issued to all ranks of the Infantry and not just specialist units. The new rifle posed its own set of problems, in particular how best to train with it. In 1853 Lord Hardinge obtained authority to set up an establishment to study the scientific use of the rifle, to evolve doctrine and develop a uniform system of Instruction to be passed on to soldiers in the ranks. The authority was granted by the Military Secretary, who, on the Twenty third of March 1853, directed that a sum of a 1000 should be included in the Army estimates for such a purpose. From this the establishment for the Instruction of musketry was formed and it was named the School of Musketry and would reside in the Cinque port of Hythe. On the sixth of June 1853 Colonel G.C Hay Commanding Officer of the 19th Regiment of Foot assumed command of the School of Musketry, taking with him Colour Sergeant John McKay, also of the 19th Regiment of Foot, who assumed the position of Staff Sergeant first class. The School continued to deliver Skill at Arms training under the guise of the School of Musketry until 1919 where upon it was renamed the Small Arms School and changing in 1926 to become the Hythe Wing. During this time a Machine Gun School was raised, and in October 1915 formed up in Grantham. In 1926 the Machine Gun School was absorbed into the Small Arms School and relocated to Netheravon. Hythe Wing continued until 1950 when it changed once again and became the Small Arms Wing of the School of Infantry. Within this time the Corps of Instructors, which was the collective name of those assigned to Hythe, changed name and became the Small Arms School Corps, the name it holds today. In 1969 the Corps left Hythe after a one hundred and sixteen year affiliation to the town. The Corps relocated to Warminster where its Headquarters resides today, although the main concentration of SASC personnel is located at the Infantry Battle School, Brecon, the modern day equivalent of the School of Musketry. Members of the Small Arms School Corps are deployed worldwide in support of the British Army, continuing to fulfil their mission To deliver marksmanship standards, provide instructional expertise and manage lethal risk to guarantee operational effectiveness. The Infantry and Small Arms School Corps Weapons Collection is open free to the public, (by appointment only) Tuesday to Thursday, 9am 4:30pm and displays a comprehensive collection of small arms tracing their development from the 16th Century to the present day. Exhibits include pistols, sub-machine guns, rifles, light, medium machine guns, grenade launchers, light and medium mortars and anti-armour weapons. The collection also contains a fine reference library of specialist books and documents covering small arms trials from 1853 to A number of items, now surplus to the requirements of the museum, feature in the Morning session of this sale and are marked Ex Small Arms School Corps Weapons Collection in the catalogue. 212

On speaking to Bill, he confirmed that he had made barrels for two.600s at that time and that Mark Sullivan had made the rest of the rifles. This was subsequently confirmed by Mark. I am familiar with the work of both of these craftsmen who are very well respected in the trade. From careful examination of this barrelled action, I consider it to be typical of their work. The quality and fit are to the best English standards. The style is similar to a Holland & Holland with back action sidelocks and well struck up and smoothed barrels. It will make up into a first rate rifle. I estimate the cost of completing the rifle to best standards including stocking, building up, regulating and finishing (not including stock blank or engraving) to be approximately 15,000 + VAT 228

The building was acquired in 1783 by Joachim Castenschiold, a General in the Danish Army. He is best-known for establishing and leading the East Danish Territorial Force against the British during the Napoleonic Wars.

He was born 13th January 1943 and began his career, aged 18, when he went to work under Josef Just in Ferlach. He remained with Just until 1975, a spell of fourteen years, when he attained the title of Master Gunmaker. He setup his own workshop the following year (where he remains to this day) and initially set-about building simple kipplauf and combination rifles with boxlock actions. Two years later he applied himself to the relative complexities of the sidelock, and built a single-trigger ejector drilling. Since 1982 he has built only best sidelock guns. Glanznig considers the year 2000 to be his zenith when he completed a series of, as he describes, grand complications in the form of drillings and vierlings, all with single-triggers and full ejectors. The years wouldn t appear to have slowed him, and aged 71, he still regularly indulges his passion for skiing and paragliding. Joachim Deflorian was commissioned to engrave this Lot (and the following two). He was born 31st January in Bozen, Italy and spent his childhood in the Tyrol. Here he showed an artistic bent and drew many fine landscapes; a talent he probably inherited from his grandfather who was an artist and wood-carver of some note. Deflorian enrolled in the Ferlach School for Handguns in 1959 where he learnt the skills of a gunmaker. Once his military service was at an end he returned to Ferlach and worked as a gunmaker for Josef Hambrusch. He spent a deal of time with Hambrusch observing his brotherin-law, who was the firm s engraver, and decided that this was the path he wished to follow. In order to do this he returned to the gunmaking school for training but remained at the bench for Hambrusch in the afternoon. He was taken under the wing of master engraver, Johann Singer, and once qualified was offered commissions by many of Ferlach s top makers. However, he considered it an honour to be asked to work for Glanznig. He still undertakes commissions, but aged 73 has discovered a new artistic use for his fingers; blues guitar. After returning to school, albeit for a very different subject, he now plays for a minimum of two hours per day between bouts of fine engraving S1 WILFRIED GLANZNIG AN EXCEPTIONAL, DEFLORIAN-ENGRAVED 6.5X57R SIDELOCK EJECTOR SINGLE- BARRELLED KIPPLAUF SPORTING RIFLE, serial no , 25 5/8in. octagonal blued nitro barrel with raised sight rib, finely engraved open sights and ramp-mounted bead foresight, the breech end mounted with a Zeiss Diavari-C 3-9x36 T* telescopic sight in exquisitely engraved quickly-detachable mounts, the rib signed by the maker and the whole with symmetrical floral and scroll flourishes, signed in gold at the breech end Dr Eberhard Rau, slim action with finely sculpted standing breech, removable striker disc, elongated top strap with automatic safety, goldinlaid cocking-indicator, set trigger, the action, lockplate and decorative sideplate and furniture exquisitely engraved with tight acanthus scrollwork and floral bouquets and with fine gold highlighting, the fore-end decorated en suite, the lockplate signed W.

Clearly that didn t was to dilute their name or reputation, but were reluctant to refuse the business. John Robertson came up with a typically neat solution, and that was to have guns built under his name. Production of Robertsons began soon after the Great War and continued until the late 1960s, although they were always built in relatively small numbers. Boss had the guns built in Birmingham, often by the reputable John Harper, before engraving and finishing them off at their Kew factory. The idea of a second tier gun was re-kindled in 2004 when Boss began offering guns under the Robertson name in both side-by-side and over/under format, but with the guns being sourced overseas. 1510A** S2 AYA A.410 (3IN.

In the January 1894 edition of The Field, an article on the design explained it as follows: Practically speaking, the recoil and the pressure in the chamber are exactly the same as obtains in an ordinary 12- bore gun firing the same shot charge; but the vibration set up in the stock of an ordinary gun, and which is the chief factor in producing gunheadache, is almost entirely absent, the vibration being absorbed by the mass of metal surrounding the breech of the gun. The design was not a popular one, and many examples were returned to the makers to have conventional barrels fitted S2 W. W. GREENER A 12-BORE MONARCH FACILE PRINCEPS EJECTOR, serial no , 30in.

Sir George was born 31st May 1849 to the 3rd Baronet of Brocton Hall and Lady Charlotte Augusta Hill, daughter of the 3rd Marquess of Downshire. He acceded to the title on the death of his father in He was a colourful character with a love and knowledge of racehorses who kept stables at Newmarket. Amongst his successes were winning the Ascot Stakes in 1877, and the 1883 Stewards Cup at Goodwood. He and Lord Lonsdale came to blows in Hyde Park in 1885 and had to be parted by onlookers. Lonsdale had been riding on Rotton Row with Lillie Langtry when she stopped to talk with Sir George who was taking a walk. The conversation, reportedly, became rather amourous and Lonsdale took exception to this, dis-mounting and striking Sir George who retaliated. Another colourful occasion was the evening that George Baird came to dine with Sir George at his London house, 36 Curzon Street. Baird expressed his admiration for the building, whereupon Chetwyn sold it to him on the spot with all fixtures and fittings. Baird woke the next morning in the master bedroom, the new owner, confused and terribly hungover. Sir George died 10th March 1917 when his son, George Guy Chetwynd acceded to the title becoming the 5th Baronet S2 RICHARD JEFFERY A 12-BORE THUMBHOLE-UNDERLEVER ROTATING-BOLT SINGLE-BITE SNAP-ACTION HAMMERGUN, serial no. 2587, 30in. nitro reproved bold damascus barrels, rib engraved ARMY & NAVY C.S.L.

Written proof of the forgery accompanies the Lot and the buyer demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Auctioneers that in light of the catalogue description the Lot is a deliberate forgery; 21. The general opinion of scholars and experts at the time of the sale would have indicated that the Lot was a deliberate forgery: or, 22. Scientific processes in existence at the time of the sale would be established that the Lot was a deliberate forgery. 23. The benefit of this condition is not assignable. CONDITIONS CONCERNING VENDORS 1 YOUR UNDERTAKINGS TO US 1.1 We are selling the Lot on your behalf as your agent and you therefore undertake to us that: you are the owner of the Lot or, if you are not the owner of the Lot (whether or not you have notified us that you are acting as an agent for a principal), you are duly authorised by the owner of the Lot to sell it; save as disclosed to us in writing, you sell the Lot with full title guarantee free from all liens, charges, encumbrances and third party claims; you are legally entitled to sell the Lot and you are legally capable of conferring on the Buyer quiet possession of the Lot; you have complied with all requirements, legal or otherwise, relating to any export or import of the Lot, all duties and taxes in respect of the export or import of the Lot have (unless otherwise agreed in writing with us) been paid and, so far as you and any principal for whom you act in relation to the Lot are aware, all third parties have complied with such requirements in the past; you have notified us in writing of any material alterations to the Lot and provided us accurately with all information (including any concerns expressed by third parties relating to the authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, authenticity, age, suitability, quality and origin of the Lot) in relation to the Lot, or any Description of it, of which you are aware or which is in your possession or of which any principal for whom you act in relation to the Lot is aware or possesses; you have notified us of all information of which you are aware or reasonably ought to be aware relating to the present or past ownerships or use of the Lot (including any association of the Lot with persons or events of note) in so far as you or any principal may become aware of any information (including any concerns expressed by third parties) in relation to the Lot, or any Description of it, after this agreement has been made, you will promptly inform us of it; unless you notify us in writing to the contrary at the time the Lot is delivered to us, there are no restrictions, (whether copyright or otherwise), affecting the Lot or our rights to photograph or illustrate the Lot, or reproduce (in any manner and in any media) photographs or illustrations or any text of any information or Description of, about or relating to the Lot provided by you or on your behalf. 1.2 You authorise us to give to the Buyer on your behalf the undertakings or information referred to at paragraphs to INDEMNITIES FROM YOU 2.1 You agree to indemnify us against all claims, proceedings, liabilities, costs, expenses and losses arising from: any actual or alleged breach of any undertaking or obligation by you to us, whether by act or omission or otherwise; any injury, loss or damage caused to any person by you; our exercising any of our rights, powers and/or duties if we have

99 reasonable cause for believing that: i we and/or you may be or are restrained by order of the court or other competent authority in respect of the Lot, or may be or are otherwise not legally entitled to sell the Lot; or ii the information about the Lot given to us by you or on your behalf is inaccurate or misleading in any fraudulent respect; or iii the Lot is a Forgery; our receiving or recovering (or seeking to recover where you have authorised us to do so) the Purchase Price 2.2 Whenever it becomes apparent to us that the Lot is the subject of a claim by someone other than you (or that such a claim can reasonably be expected to be made), we may, at our absolute discretion, deal with the Lot in any manner which appears to us to recognise the legitimate interests of ourselves and the other parties involved and lawfully protect our position and our legitimate interests. 3 RESERVES 3.1 The Lot will be sold Without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed with us or we have accepted a Reserve under paragraph 3.5 or if paragraph 3.6 applies. 3.2 An agreed Reserve or the agreement that the Lot is to be sold Without Reserve cannot be altered without our written consent. 3.3 If the Property Receipt states a figure for the Reserve, that is the agreed Reserve with which the Lot will be sold. 3.4 If the Property Receipt states that the Reserve is "zero", AD, NR, "sell" or "0" or that the Lot is to be sold Without Reserve or that there is no Reserve, it is agreed that the Lot will be sold Without Reserve. 3.5 If the Property Receipt does not contain any of the statements referred to in paragraphs 3.3 or 3.4, the Lot will be sold Without Reserve unless by written notice received by us at least 24 hours prior to the start of the Sale, you ask us to place a Reserve on the Lot at a particular figure and we accept, in writing, that figure as the Reserve. 3.6 If the figure you give for the Reserve on the Property Receipt or in a notice under paragraph 3.5 exceeds the lower figure of any Estimate for the Lot which we have notified to you, we can refuse to accept it as the Reserve. If we do so, we will give you notice of this and the Lot will be offered for sale Without Reserve unless you agree that the Lot is offered for Sale at a Reserve set by us. 3.7 All Reserves will be in the currency of the country in which the Lot is to be sold. Any Reserve placed in any other currency will be converted into that currency using the mid market exchange rate at the close of business on the day before the Sale as quoted to us by National Westminster Bank Plc. 3.8 Where the Property Receipt states that we are given "discretion" in relation to the Reserve, you authorise us if we deem it necessary in order to sell the Lot (regardless of estimate) to accept bids for the Lot at up to 10% less than the Reserve. You authorise us to refuse a bid(s) from any Bidder, including from the highest Bidder, and whether or not there is a Reserve if such refusal is reasonable for the protection of your and/or our interests in the circumstances. 4 CHARGES FOR UNSOLD ITEMS 4.1 In the event of a Lot failing to reach its reserve we shall be entitled to charge you a commission of 10% (plus VAT) of the reserve price, unless we have previously agreed to an alternate charge. 5 WITHDRAWAL OF PROPERTY 5.1. If you withdraw any Lot after the Contract has been signed, we reserve the right to recover from you any expenses incurred. 5.2 If you withdraw any Lot from sale after the Lot has been catalogued, we reserve the right to charge you a withdrawal fee of up to 35% (+ VAT) of the lower estimate (or reserve price, if there is one) plus any expenses incurred. 5.3 We retain the right to withdraw Lots at our discretion at any time for any reason. 6.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we will assume the risk of loss or damage to Property received from the Seller where possession of such is actually taken by one of our authorised representatives or one of our employees. The risk for property placed into the possession of a third party, for onward transmission to us or to one of our authorised representatives, shall not be assumed by us until the property is actually received by one of our employees or authorised representatives. Once assumed the risk shall stay with us until:- (i) it passes to the Buyer; or (ii) if the item is unsold, when released by us direct to the seller. Where released by us via one of our authorised representatives or via a courier instructed by us (with the charge incurred reimbursed by the seller) the risk will pass to the seller only when he is in actual possession of the property. Where, under firearms licensing laws, such release can only be made to a third party, namely an RFD holder, our assumption of risk will terminate upon actual possession by that third party. Under these provisions any claim made by a seller for non-delivery / damage must be made to us within 7 days of the date of delivery or intended delivery. We will not accept liability for any claim made after this period. 6.2 Holt s Auctioneers shall charge reimbursement of insurance fees at the rate of 1.5% of:- (i) the Hammer Price of the Property, if sold; (ii) the mid estimate, if not offered for sale (or our reasonable estimate of auction value where there are no pre-sale estimates). 6.3 If damage or loss occurs whilst the Property is at our risk, the maximum amount of our liability shall be as set out in Condition 6.2(i) and (ii), as applicable, less Seller s Commission and Expenses. We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by:- (i) normal wear and tear, gradual deterioration or inherent vice or defect; (ii) proofing and / or repair processes; (iii) war or radioactive contamination. 7 RESIDUAL MATTERS 7.1 We act as agents only and therefore shall not be accountable to you for any sum until payment has been received from the buyer. Whilst we will use our best endeavours to obtain payment from the purchaser on your behalf, we cannot accept liability if the purchaser fails to make payment. 7.2 The seller accepts that items requiring proof before sale will be submitted to the Proof House and any work reasonably required for successful proofing will be undertaken on behalf of the seller at his cost. 7.3 Whilst we take every care in the preparation of our catalogues we cannot accept responsibility for any inaccuracies contained therein. 7.4 You authorise us to deduct the sale commission (at a minimum of per lot (plus VAT)) in addition to illustration charges from the 7.5 We shall have discretion to enter items into any one of our sales, additionally, we have the discretion to re-enter items into a subsequent sale in the event of a lot being unsold.

106 The Gunmakers Company Charitable Trust Trustees: D C A Izod JP (Chairman), J Browning, R D A Burge, N J Holt D Keith Neal, R M Mitchell, C J R Purdey, J W Slough, G M Yanneghas, R Wilkin Secretary: Col W J Chesshyre The Gunmakers Company Charitable Trust has been established in order to provide financial support for the development of craft skills and the new technology associated with the gunmaking trade. We believe that by helping aspiring entrants, and others associated with the trade, we will be able to play an important role in maintaining the reputation for excellence which British gunmaking enjoys worldwide. In addition we will have a more effective way of supporting welfare causes associated with the gun trade, the City of London and where the Gunmakers Comany is situated. The Charitable Trust was founded in It has been strongly supported by the Liverymen of the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers and those people interested in the trade. Its first bursary was awarded in 2007 to a trainee gunmaker working for Watson Bros., of London. A second bursary, this time to a Birmingham gunmaker, is likely to be made in early The Charitable Trust has also provided a range of smaller grants for training, travel and education for those working in gunmaking and related trades, including support for education for conservators working in arms, armour and other metals at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Glasgow Museum. In addition, it has made grants to people connected with the gun trade who have fallen on difficult times and to support the charitable activities of the City of London and the Borough of Tower Hamlets. The Charitable Trust is now in a position to seek further applications from members of the gun trade. As we enter these more difficult economic times, we feel that the Trust s role will assume ever greater importance in maintaining the quality and skills within British gunmaking. We very much hope that you will feel able to help us and any of the trustees will be glad to answer any questions that you may have about our proposals and recognition of your support.
