ROYAL NAVAL OFFICER'S SWORD, Wilkinson 1845 pattern, 31" acid etched blade, VR cypher and large crowned fouled anchor, forte engraved Henry Wilkinson Pall Mall London, brassmounted scabbard, leather belt with straps The sword is being sold with a large amount of papers, photographs and communications between the Admiralty and Captain Thomas Bishop Jago who carried the sword as Captain of the merchant vessel the S.S. Caledonian during the Great War. Already commended by the Admiralty for 'zeal and devotion to duty' on earlier missions , the majority of the paperwork detail s how Captain Jago was responsible for the sinking of a German submarine - an almost unique achievement for a Merchant shipman : On Jul y 25th , 1918 the S.S . Caledonian together with seven other merchant ships and their Royal Navy escort were crossing the North Atlantic . At 06:40 hrs their convoy was attacked by a lone German submarine which had infi ltrated its way to the very heart of the convoy.

Having risen to periscope depth and loosed off a single torpedo (which was to hit the S.S . Indore , the ship next to the Caledon ian) it was sighted by the crew of the Caledonian who.under the orders of Captain Jago , opened fire with the deck gun mounted at the rear of the ship .

The submarine was fatall y hit in the bow by the first round fired and the submarine sank bow first "attaining an almost perpendicular position before she disappeared" .

Despite various commendations by those who witnessed the sinking - including the Captain of one of the Royal Navy destroyers escorting the convoy and also the Admiral at Buncrena for 'good shooting', a rival claim for the ki ll by S.S. lndore combined with the complex political relationship between the Admiralty and the Mercantile Marine Awards Committee resu lted in the action never being fully officially recognised and the bounty of£ 1000 was never awarded to Captain Jago and his crew

Rigby canvas and leather rifle case (damaged); 85 rounds of .450 ammunition will be made available to the purchaser The makers have kindly confirmed that the rifle was completed in 1911 for the Hon. Denys Finch Hatton Denys Finch-Hatton was born in England on April 24th 1887, the son of Henry Stormont Finch Hatton, Earl of Winchelsea and Anne Finch Hatton (nee Coddrington), a daughter of a former Admiral of the British Fleet. Educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, Denys was a natural sportsman and scholar of the arts. In 1911 the 24 year old Denys bought land in British East Africa as an investment which would give him the freedom to spend his time hunting. He would spend every Autumn and Winter in Africa doing just that. In 1925 he became a professional big game hunter and took numerous wealthy and distinguished clients on safari - including H.R.H. the Duke of Windsor (the then Prince of Wales) .

His taste for adventure led him to learn to fly, and it was on May 14th 1931 that he died in a fatal plane crash in his Gypsy Moth near what is now the Tsavo National Park, Kenya. He is buried in the Ngong Hills and an obelisk marks his grave to this day. The story of Denys Finch Hatton and his love affair with Karen Blixen (his only known romance) is immortalised by Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in the Academy Award-winning film ' Out of Africa' (1985)
