Jim Greathead of Clanville, England, made, U.S. Under hammer Percussion Boot Pistol as used by Gamblers in the mid 19th Centuary. (1 of 750 made) **UK 2018 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** Sn - 22786
The American under hammer percussion boot pistol was a favourite of American Gamblers during the mid 19th Century. These were easily concealable, and the lack of a hammer on the top of the pistol, combined with the curved bag grip, made them very easy to remove without snagging on anything. This is a very unusual hand made under hammer single shot .400 inch caliber muzzle loading black powder pistol made by Jim Greathead who was renowned for his hand made under hammer muzzle loading pistols which were often used in modern pistol competition. Jim made around 750 handmade pistols during the 1990's and being hand made each one is a little bit different. This pistol is of a very simple design, measuring 13 inches in length with a 7 inch part octagonal cannon style barrel with a .400 inch bore. The pistol is fitted with a simple fore and rear sight. The lock design is quite simple, with just a spring loaded hammer and trigger, which serve as the tumbler and sear as well. There is no provision for a half-cock or any type of safety, just a notch on the hammer where the trigger locks into the pistol. The pistol is quite heavy and has a pair of wooden grips held with a single screw. The barrel and breech retain much of their original blued finish. The pistol cocks, deactivated in 2018. The price for this unusual pistol includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. Sn 22786

When the tank was first introduced during WW1 it went into action with the minimal amount of protection for the crew inside who besides having to work under hot and fumy conditions found that they were being injured by what is known as shale or splatter which is slithers of sharp steel that flew around the inside of the tank when it was hit from shrapnel and bullet impacts from the outside. The wounds to crew members concerned the British war office who then developed a protective mask to reduce the wounds. Officially approved on 9 July 1917, the face mask design was given the classic British War Office nomenclature description of ‘Goggles, Steel, with chain mail for use in Tanks’. The initial order was for 7,000, with sources suggesting around 5,000 issued to tank crews for the battle at Cambrai. This excellent original face mask is the standard British issue Tank Face Mask. Constructed of steel that is covered in Leather to the front and padded chamois leather to the inside. The eye holes have mesh type steel panels to see through. Its tie-on straps are present. Tank face masks are highly collectable, command high prices and rarely come on the market. The steel, leather and material are clean & intact.

It was awarded to members of the Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, and other Nazi military units such as Panzerknacker units who successfully destroyed enemy tanks through various means, including anti-tank weapons, grenades, mines, and other improvised methods.

The Tank Destruction Badge showcases a stamped nonmagnetic metal Panzer IV tank, affixed to a bullion silver band. Along the top and bottom edges, there black stripes. The badge was initially pinned to the sleeve and then securely fastened by sewing. There were two main versions of the Tank Destruction Badge: a silver grade and a bronze grade.

In 1902 Experimental Long and Short bayonets were trialled to succeed the 1888 pattern Bayonets. After the trial period it was decided that, when fixed to rifles, the Short version affected accuracy of fire less than the Longer heavy version. The short bladed version was approved and introduced as the '1903 Pattern' sword bayonet (see page 233 & page 391 item No.814 of the bayonet book by Watts & White). This is an excellent British Enfield 1903 Pattern Bayonet With scabbard & frog. The steel blade with medial ridge is 12” length. The double edged blade is excellent, clean with no damage and it measures just over 16 ¾” overall length. One side of the blade has Kings Crown ER (Edward Rex) ‘1903’ (pattern) and date ’06 ’04 (June 1904). The reverse has ‘EFD’ maker’s mark (Enfield) below WD arrow and inspection mark.

Rare, British, Pattern 1903 Dress Bayonet Converted from a Pattern 1888 Mark III Bayonet for the Mk1 III Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) rifle. Sn - 22656
The P1903 design combined the P1888 blade and crosspiece with a new pommel design. Many P1888 Lee Metford bayonets were converted to the 1903 pattern. The P1903 had a short service life as the blade was considered not long enough, having less reach when combined with the shorter rifle. The P1903 was produced for British use from 1903–1907, at which time the P1907 was adopted. This is a good example of a Pattern 1903 bayonet which was converted from a Pattern 1888 long lee Enfield bayonet. The bayonet has traces of its original nickel plating which was used on parade bayonets. The 298mm double-edged blade retains its original bright finish. The blade has a flattened diamond cross-section with a raised medial ridge and terminates in a spear point. The ricasso bears an Enfield inspection stamp 2 ’97 (the original date the blade and bayonet were made for the Long Lee Enfield 1903 (the bayonet pattern). The hilt is stamped 2 CLY (The 2nd County of London Yeomanry) 483 (bayonet number). The ricasso is stamped with the War Department broad arrow, an Enfield inspection stamp and a X. Wilkinson maker’s mark, bend test stamp and inspection stamps. The obverse ricasso bears the crown stamp of King Edward VII, the pattern date, 1903 and the manufacture date of November 1902. This is a conversion from a P1888 bayonet to a P1903 carried out in England by the Enfield. The press-stud locking mechanism works perfectly and the wooden grip are in good period condition. The black leather scabbard is in good condition as is the steel chape and locket. The steel furniture retains a nice patina finish. This is an excellent example of this increasingly hard to find British P1903 bayonet. See Skennerton pages 181-184. The price includes UK delivery. (British Box 1) Sn 22656
