PROPERTY FROM THE DESCENDANT FAMILY OF SIR WILLIAM MACNAGHTEN 57 A FINE COORG GOLD-HILTED KNIFE (AYDA KATTI), THE POMMEL WITH AN INSCRIPTION FOR LING RAJENDER WADEER, RAJA OF COORG, DATED FOR 1808/10 with broad hatchet-shaped blade formed with a sharp curved inner edge, struck on one face with a gold-lined mark, the letters 'oC', knurled back-edged at the top, the forte widening and filed with a stepped moulding along the back-edge, recessed ricasso with elaborate stepped and bead-filed mouldings, hilt of characteristic form encased in sheet gold, the lower portion faceted at the base, thick pear-shaped pommel engraved with the inscription 'Lingra Jender Wadeer' within a circular linear frame enclosing the Raja's cypher and the date, the grip bound with plaited gold wire retained by four slender vertical gold fillets, with an early, probably original, black silk tassel 37.0 cm; 14 ½ in blade Provenance The descendant family of Sir William Macnaghten Ling Rajender Wadeer, Raja Of Coorg was known for his warmth towards the English as the following account of 1815 shows: '…on my return from the Travancore country, I passed through the territories of the Raja of Coorg from whom I met with a very hospital reception. He is extremely fond of the English; assists them in every way in passing through his country and will not suffer them to pay for anything. He has built an elegant house at his capital, and furnished it entirely in European style for their accommodation…He dresses frequently in the English style; and instead of indulging in luxury and dissipation, as Eastern princes are apt to do, he has made it his study to excel in all sorts of manly exercises.

He is extremely fond of hunting…rides elegantly and is perfect master of the use of the spear…I have repeatedly seen him on horseback…spear an orange thrown up in the air. I passed some days with him…employed chiefly in the truly Royal sport of tyger and elephant hunting. On taking leave him he presented me among other things with a knife made at Coorg, and of remarkably well tempered steel…being ornamented with gold…is for men of the highest caste…the Raja has brought the manufacture of swords and guns to great perfection…he showed me a double-barrelled Joe Manton and an imitation of it made at Coorg…they were so perfectly similar in every respect that I really could not tell them [apart].See Scots Magazine 1815 p. 207-8.

Some years later Basil Hall recounted his somewhat impish sense of humour: '…[the next day]…on a signal given by the rajah a folding door was thrown open on one side of the court, and in stalked two immense royal tigers, held by several men on each side, by long but slight ropes attached to collars round the animals necks. These beasts…allowed themselves to be led close to us. I confess I did not much like this degree of propinquity, and eyed the slender cordage with some professional anxiety…the rajah and his son seemed quite unconcerned…..[he then] directed the men to let go the ropes and fall back…we sat…with…nothing on earth to prevent their munching us all up…' See Hall 1845

Sir William Hay Macnaghten, baronet (1793-1841) joined the Madras army as a cavalry cadet at which time he filled his hours learning Persian and Hindi, followed by Tamil, Telugu, Kanarese, and Marathi. He learned the art of diplomacy and gained a place in the Bengal civil service, his diligence and cleverness easily marked him out as one of the most distinguished students at the college of Fort William where he won every linguistic prize and medal on the college's books. His two monumental works, Principles and Precedents of Mohummudan Law (1825) and Principles and Precedents of Hindu Law (2 vols., 1828-9) were both significant and used as handbooks by generations of British-Indian judges. In 1831 Macnaghten's became secretary to the governor-general Lord William Bentinck and later Lord Auckland. The crisis on the north-western frontier was now looming and Macnaghten argued that the British should befriend Afghanistan to counter balance the Sikhs, believing that Ranjit Singh the erstwhile ally and aged ruler of the Punjab, could not live for much longer. Unfortunately his plans failed, the British position became untenable. Muhammad Akbar Khan claimed the British, particularly Macnaghten, were not to be trusted and summoned him to an exposed plain outside Kabul. Almost certainly aware that his fate was now sealed, Macnaghten attended the interview accompanied only by three officer's.

On arrival they were seized and carried into the city to their deaths. Akbar Khan himself shot Macnaghten with a pistol given to him by the envoy the day before, whereupon angry city residents hacked his body to pieces and paraded his head and limbs in triumph. Days later, the entire garrison met a similar fate: retreating to Jalalabad, some 4000 soldiers and numerous camp followers were wiped out by freezing weather and snipers.

VARIOUS OWNERS 183 AN ENGLISH OR FLEMISH CLOSE HELMET, CIRCA 1560 with one-piece skull rising to a high roped medial comb pierced at its apex with a later hole to receive a spike on which to mount a funerary crest, and visor, upper bevor and lower bevor attached to it by common dome-headed pivots, the forward-sloping visor formed beneath its centrally-divided vision-slit with an inward-turned step, pierced at its front with eight small circular ventilation-holes and fitted at its right side with a baluster-ended lifting-peg that also serves as the pull to release a spring-catch that engages a hole in the lower bevor, the latter cut with a notch to accommodate the lifting-peg of the visor, fitted at the right of the chin with a further springcatch (lacking its pull-release) to engage a hole in the lower edge of the upper bevor, and pierced at the right its neck with a hole to attach a swivel-hook to engage a pierced stud projecting from the front of the skull, the lower edges of both the skull and lower bevor flanged outwards to receive missing gorget-plates, the helmet decorated to either side of its comb and at the upper edge of its upper bevor with recessed bands, and at the upper edges of its visor and upper bevor respectively with partial and full turns, roped in the latter case, the whole covered with grey funerary paint now in part corroded and flaking 31.0 cm; 12 ¼ in Provenance Sir William ffarington, Worden Hall, Lancashire A private English collection

The helmet owes its survival to having been suspended over an English tomb as part of an heraldic achievement.

It at one time formed part of the collection assembled at Worden Hall, Lancashire, by Sir William ffarington (c. 1704-81) after 1765. It is unlikely to have formed a part of the Hall’s indigenous armoury which was sequestered by Parliament in 1643 (ffarington 1856, p. 93), although it is said that a helmet very likely the present lot - together with other pieces, did service as a funerary achievement that was eventually removed from the ffarington Chapel in Leyland Church in 1816 (De Cosson & Burgess 1881, p. 591).

An 18th century inventory of the collection is preserved in New Zealand while three of the 19th century are preserved in private hands in England. The collection was sold by a local auctioneer in 1948.

Two late 16th century jacks of plate and an associated pair of plate-sleeves from the same collection were sold in these rooms, 7th December 2016, lots 511-13.

196 THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN 196 ELEMENTS OF A RARE HORSE CAPARISON, FIRST HALF OF THE 18TH CENTURY, PROBABLY ENGLISH of velvet-covered leather (extensive wear, perished), retaining eight gilt-brass plaques decorated in an openwork design with the owner’s arms within an oval foliate frame, six with his crest framed en suite, numerous gilt brass rectangular bosses, flowers, small foliate panels and buckles, and the brass elements remaining in generally good condition Provenance Sotheby’s, 9th February 1970, lot 110.

The arms are those of Sir John Parsons (1613-1717) and his son, Humphrey Parsons (circa 1676-1741).

Sir John Parsons was from a prosperous London brewing family. He was proprietor of the Red Lion brewery in East Smithfield and his operations included export and naval contracting. He was knighted by James II and became a prominent figure in Civic London, being alderman (from 1689), lord mayor (1703-4), and a member of parliament for Reigate in 1685 and from 1689 almost continuously to his death in 1717. He was a pronounced Tory with Jacobite leanings. His third and only surviving son Humphrey inherited the brewery and followed his father, becoming alderman (1721), sheriff (1722-3), and twice lord mayor of London (1730, 1740), as well as master of the Grocers’ Company (1726-31) and president of the Bethlem and the Bridewell hospitals. He was a member of parliament for Harwich (1722-7) and London (from 1727 until his death in 1741). His great personal popularity in London added significantly to his political importance as its member of parliament. Humphrey was a keen horseman and is described as being passionately addicted to the hunt as well as keeping a ‘brilliant stable’, which is borne out by the sumptuous nature of the present caparison.

Humphrey continued his father’s success at the Red Lion Brewery and it became one of the four largest breweries in the capital in the second quarter of the eighteenth century. He handled the principle export trade in beer to France, its success no doubt driven largely by his goods being exempted from import duty. This exemption was a privilege bestowed on him by Louis XV, when he came to the king’s notice during a hunt in France. Parsons’s spirited English courser outstripped the rest, and, in contravention of the usual etiquette, brought him in at the death. In response to the king’s enquiries, Parsons was maliciously described to him as ‘un chevalier de Malte.’ At an interview which followed, Parsons offered his horse, which had attracted the king’s admiration, for his majesty’s acceptance. The horse was accepted, and the king, who showed him every mark of favour, presented him with his portrait set in diamonds on 16 Feb. 1731. A broadside of 1741 entitled ‘A Hymn to Alderman Parsons, our Lord Mayor,’ describes him as a churchman, an incorruptible tory, and continues: in France he is respected / The French King does agree / That he should bring his beer / Over there duty free. Humphrey was a frequent visitor to France before this time and became one of the Pretender’s most valued correspondents in London, though it is not clear precisely what services he was able to render beyond acting as a conduit for the introduction of Jacobite tracts. He died on 21 March 1741 during his second term as lord mayor, and was buried at Reigate. His popularity is suggested by a number of engravings published around the time of his death. £700-1000 57

PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF JAMES D. LAVIN PH.D (1929 – 2013) James D. Lavin was born in Fort Benning, Georgia in 1929, the son of a US Army officer. From a very young age he studied European history and literature and had a fascination with arms and armour. As a young child he read everything available to him on the history of war and the weapons used, and started collecting American Civil War firearms. He developed an interest in art and studied Art History at St. Louis University and later painting in Urapan, Mexico under Alfredo Salce.

After 4 years in Mexico, Lavin joined the Air Force during the Korean War, serving as a pilot in multi-engines (B-29s and KC97s) and was engaged in eight years of active duty. He then completed his education at Florida State University where he majored in Spanish language and literature. With the award of a Fulbright Scholarship, he travelled to Spain, where working from primary sources, he was able to investigate arms production from its infancy to the arrival of the machine age. His resulting doctoral dissertation, A History of Spanish Firearms, stands as the standard reference on the subject. In his introduction to that book Claude Blair noted Lavin’s rare combination of qualities including his outstanding research, first class knowledge of the Spanish language and his wide grasp of the history of firearms in general that make the book one of outstanding importance in the field Lavin culminated his long academic career at The College of William and Mary (19682002) in Virginia where he taught Spanish Language and Golden Age Literature. He developed a Cultural History of Spain course which he taught for many years with emphasis on Christian and Islamic art, architecture and the material culture of Spain.

He also directed William and Mary’s summer program in Asturias for 5 years. After Jim retired from teaching he continued his firearms research as well as privately consulting with museums and collectors from around the world.

The following selection of his numerous publications and contributions to academic journals give an insight into the breadth and importance of his work: Arms and Armour of 17th-Century Virginia, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, 2000; The Art and Tradition of the Zuloagas: Spanish Damascene from the Khalili Collection, Oxford, 1997; Decorated Firearms, 1540-1870 (with W.B. Gusler), Williamsburg, 1977; The Zuloaga Armourers, Journal of the Arms and Armour Society (JAAS), London, 1986; The Gift of James I to Felipe III of Spain, JAAS, 1992; Spanish IbexHorn Powder Flasks, JAAS, 1990; El regalo de Jacobo I a Felipe III en la Real Amería, Madrid, 1989; Armas de fuego madrileñas en el Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid, 1986; The French Pattern Book of Nicolás Bis, 1967; Spanish Miquelet Nomenclature, JAAS,1966; Miquelet Accessories, The American Rifleman, 1966; An Examination of Some Early Documents Regarding the Use of Gunpowder in Spain, JAAS, London, 1964; La influencia italiana en la arcabucría española, Armi Antiche, Torino, 1964.

This second group of pieces offered for sale from his collection reflect the deep knowledge and interest Lavin had for the subject and present a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire some truly distinguished examples of Spanish gunmaking.

TDM-023 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 05/11/2018 11:41 Page 116

Conditions of Business for Buyers 1.

Introduction (a) The contractual relationship of Thomas Del Mar Ltd. and Sellers with prospective Buyers is governed by:(i) these Conditions of Business for Buyers; (ii) the Conditions of Business for Sellers displayed in the saleroom and available from Thomas Del Mar Ltd.; (iii) Thomas Del Mar Ltd.’s Authenticity Guarantee; (iv) any additional notices and terms printed in the sale catalogue, in each case as amended by any saleroom notice or auctioneer's announcement. (b) As auctioneer, Thomas Del Mar Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.

Occasionally, Thomas Del Mar Ltd. may own or have a financial interest in a lot.

2. Definitions “Bidder” is any person making, attempting or considering making a bid, including Buyers; “Buyer” is the person who makes the highest bid or offer accepted by the auctioneer, including a Buyer’s principal when bidding as agent; “Seller” is the person offering a lot for sale, including their agent, or executors; “TDM” means Thomas Del Mar Ltd., 25 Blythe Road, London, W14 0PD, company number 5368339.

“Buyer’s Expenses” are any costs or expenses due to Thomas Del Mar Ltd. from the Buyer; “Buyer’s Premium” is the commission payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price at the rates set out in the Guide for Prospective Buyers; “Hammer Price” is the highest bid for the Property accepted by the auctioneer at the auction or the post auction sale price; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price plus applicable Buyer’s Premium and Buyer’s Expenses; “Reserve Price” (where applicable) is the minimum Hammer Price at which the Seller has agreed to sell a lot.

The Buyer’s Premium, Buyer’s Expenses and Hammer Price are subject to VAT, where applicable.

3. Examination of Lots (a) TTDM’s knowledge of lots is partly dependent on information provided by the Seller and TDM is unable to exercise exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Each lot is available for examination before sale. Bidders are responsible for carrying out examinations and research before sale to satisfy themselves over the condition of lots and accuracy of descriptions. (b) All oral and/or written information provided to Bidders relating to lots, including descriptions in the catalogue, condition reports or elsewhere are statements of TDM’s opinion and not representations of fact. Estimates may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time at TDM’s absolute discretion.

4. Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers (a) TDM shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer in circumstances where it deems that the lot is a Counterfeit, subject to the terms of TDM’s Authenticity Guarantee. (b) Subject to Condition 4(a), neither TDM nor the Seller:(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in any oral or written information provided to Bidders by TDM, whether negligent or otherwise; (ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as such obligations cannot be excluded by English law), other than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer (for which the Seller is solely responsible) under the Conditions of Business for Sellers; (iii) accepts responsibility to Bidders for acts or omissions (whether negligent or otherwise) by TDM in connection with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to the sale of any lot. (c) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against TDM

116

and/ or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price for the relevant lot. Neither TDM nor the Seller shall be liable for any indirect or consequential losses.

5. Bidding at Auction (a) TDM has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction. Before sale, Bidders must complete a Registration Form and supply such information and references as TDM requires. Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and severally liable with their principal, if bidding as agent (in which case TDM’s prior and express consent must be obtained). (b) TDM advises Bidders to attend the auction, but TDM will endeavour to execute absentee written bids provided that they are, in TDM’s opinion, received in sufficient time and in legible form. (c) When available, written and telephone bidding is offered as a free service at the Bidder’s risk and subject to TDM’s other commitments; TDM is therefore not liable for failure to execute such bids. Telephone bidding may be recorded.

6. Import, Export and Copyright Restrictions TDM and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is subject to import, export or copyright restrictions.

It is the Buyer's sole responsibility to obtain any copyright clearance or any necessary import, export or other licence required by law, including licenses required under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

7.

Conduct of the Auction (a) The auctioneer has discretion to refuse bids, withdraw or reoffer lots for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if (s)he believes that there may be an error or dispute, and may also take such other action as (s)he reasonably deems necessary. (b) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding in such increments as (s)he considers appropriate and is entitled to place bids on the Seller’s behalf up to the Reserve Price for the lot, where applicable. (c) Subject to Condition 7(a), the contract between the Buyer and the Seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer's hammer. (d) Any post-auction sale of lots shall incorporate these Conditions of Business.

8. Payment and Collection (a) Unless otherwise agreed in advance, payment of the Purchase Price is due in pounds sterling immediately after the auction (the "Payment Date"). (b) Title in a lot will not pass to the Buyer until TDM has received the Purchase Price in cleared funds. TDM will generally not release a lot to a Buyer before payment. Earlier release shall not affect passing of title or the Buyer's obligation to pay the Purchase Price, as above. (c) The refusal of any licence or permit required by law, as outlined in Condition 6, shall not affect the Buyer’s obligation to pay for the lot, as per Condition 8(a). (d) The Buyer must arrange collection of lots within 10 working days of the auction. Purchased lots are at the Buyer's risk from the earlier of (i) collection or (ii) 10 working days after the auction. Until risk passes, TDM will compensate the Buyer for any loss or damage to the lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price actually paid by the Buyer. TDM’s assumption of risk is subject to the exclusions detailed in Condition 5(d) of the Conditions of Business for Sellers. (e) All packing and handling of lots is at the Buyer's risk.

Thomas Del Mar Ltd.‘s Authenticity Guarantee If Thomas Del Mar Ltd. sells an item of Property which is later shown to be a “Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Thomas Del Mar Ltd. will rescind the sale and refund the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Thomas Del Mar Ltd. for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price. The Guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is non-transferable.

“Counterfeit” means an item of Property that in Thomas Del Mar Ltd.’s reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue description for the Property. Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work (including, but not limited to, recolouring, tooling or repatinating). Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Thomas Del Mar Ltd. decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Thomas Del Mar Ltd. (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of

processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in Thomas Del Mar Ltd.’s reasonable opinion); or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description.

To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i) notify Thomas Del Mar Ltd. in writing within one (1) month of receiving any informationthat causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to Thomas Del Mar Ltd. in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale. Thomas Del Mar Ltd. has discretion to waive any of the above requirements.

Thomas Del Mar Ltd. may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field and acceptable to Thomas Del Mar Ltd. Thomas Del Mar Ltd. shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Thomas Del Mar Ltd. decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Thomas Del Mar Ltd.
