JULY 2026 HIGHLIGHTS & NEWS

 

 

 

We start our July Highlights with an HMS Ark Royal survivors medal grouping from World War II. Group of boxed medal, along with associated items originally belonging to Able Seaman Victor Bromage. He served aboard HMS Ark Royal, and was one of those taken off the ship after it was torpedoed by a U-Boat in 1941. The Bromage group sold by the family in 2013. Provenance document included.

 

 

 

Our second Highlight is a rare set of Crimea maps by William Howard Russell. Printed in 1858, the maps show troop deployment at the Crimea battles. Linen backed, the maps drawn by L.M.Becker and engraved on steel, using Becker's unique patented process.

 

 

 

Our last Highlight for July is a superb 1803 Pattern Blue & Gilt presentation light cavalry sword made by the Pall Mall based firm of Henry Osborn, cutlers to the king. This sword has a highly ornate blue & gilt floral design, and remains the only sword to survive with such a blade pattern

 

 

 

Sometimes there is a relatively common or inexpensive item that stands out. Within a consignment of predominantly German items, we have a Lee Enfield 1907 pattern bayonet. In itself, not particularly rare, and not particularly expensive. But this example must be one of the best in the market place. In its own way, quite a beautiful item (item b002756).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do visit our Take A Pop category, we have a few end of consignments, which have been heavily discounted by the consigners. For example, there is a really good Waterloo Medal, the last of the consigner’s items, discounted down from £4750 to £3750 – that is a true bargain for the canny buyer.
