The price for this pistol from a top quality collection includes UK delivery. NB As an antique muzzle loading percussion weapon no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Provenance: Robert Elton Brooker, Jr. started collecting firearms in 1954 at the age of 17, when he identified an original Colt revolver for sale in Morelia, Mexico. This led to a lifetime of collecting and scholarship related to technology development and geopolitics viewed through the lens of European military pistols. His first book, British Military Pistols 1603-1887, was published in 1978. This was followed by Armes de Poing Militaires Françaises (2006), Landeszeughaus Graz, Austria (2007), and finally British Military Pistols and Associated Edged Weapons (2016), an updated version of his original book, illustrated largely with items from his personal collection. He authored scholarly articles about Napoleon's Mamluk guard, Saxon military pistols, Neapolitan pistols, and other topics, plus two unfinished book manuscripts: one about Spanish and Latin American pistols, another about the Bavarian Army Museum collection. He received the Great Medal of Honor from the Austrian state of Styria in 2008. Alongside his collecting and scholarship, Brooker built a career initially as an officer and pilot in the US Marine Corps. In the summer of 1959 he was granted a leave of absence from the Marines to work as an interpreter for the American Exhibition in Moscow. While there, he happened to be in the room where Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev entered and filmed what later became known as the Kitchen Debate. Following an MBA at Harvard Business School, he served in senior management roles at Cummins Engine Company, NL Industries, Lord Corporation, and Connell LP. He oversaw the development of horizontal drilling technology that later transformed the oil and gas industry. He retired from business to obtain a PhD in Art History from Brown University. He speaks six languages and was an enthusiastic scuba diver. All these achievements took place alongside his wife of 60 years, Kitty Brooker. He has four children and six grandchildren. The Robert Brooker Jr. Collection represents the greatest collection of types assembled in the history of the subject. Spanning more than three centuries and comprising a unique group of munition firearms, edged weapons and associated objects, its magnitude, breadth and quality are truly remarkable. Sn 23125

**ATTRIBUTED**Pre 1845 British William IV 1822 Pattern Infantry Officer’s Sword With Etched Blade To ‘Lieutenant-Colonel George William Paty, 96th Regiment Of Foot’ (Later General Sir George William Paty, K.C.B., K.H) & Scabbard. Sn 23109 - 23109 General Sir George William Paty, K.C.B., K.H., was born in 1788 and joined the 32nd Foot as an Ensign in 1804. He served in the Copenhagen Campaign of 1807, and afterwards in the Peninsular. Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in 1817, on half pay, he served in the 96th Foot as a Major on full pay in 1825. The 1822 pattern sword was a radical departure from previous designs, having a ‘gothic’ style pierced basket hilt so named after its resemblance to window shapes in gothic architecture and folding langet on one side. Pre 1845 these swords had pipe back blades. Post 1845 they were made with slightly curved fullered blades (see page 173 of World Swords by Withers & Page 159 of Robson). This original infantry Officer's Pattern 1822 sword has a pre 1845, 32 ¼” single edged curved pipe back blade (37 ½” overall). The blade has very faint foliate panels decoration on both sides. There are no maker or date marks on the blade. One side of the blade is faintly etched with King’s Crown and Royal cypher ‘WR IV’ (William IV Rex) together with another faint etched panel ‘LT COL PATY 96th REGT’. The gothic style voided brass guard has stylised Royal Cypher King’s Crown and ‘WR IV’ (William IV Rex). The bar guard is fully intact. It has the correct folding langet on one side. Its fish skin grip with finger grooves & wire binding is in good condition with just light service wear & all wire tight and intact. The sword is complete with its blackened steel scabbard with 2 hanging rings and shoe. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23109

Victorian, British Ordnance Scarboro Rifles (Scarborough North Yorkshire) Pattern 1827 Volunteer Rifle Brigade Officer's Sword With Etched Blade By Hart & Hill, Scarboro & Scabbard. Sn 23156 - 23156 The Volunteer movement had its origins in the eighteenth century. Service in the Militia was compulsory at that time for those selected by ballot and who were not wealthy enough to hire a substitute. But specific threats, such as Jacobite risings or the threat of French invasion, induced men to volunteer for home defence. A series of Militia Acts, notably in 1761, 1768 and 1802, had the effect of transforming the Militia from a home defence force into a reserve for the Regular Army, and its former function was increasingly filled by the Volunteers. During the Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815, the risk of invasion by Revolutionary France persuaded the government to authorise the formation of volunteer units that would be subject to military discipline and eligible for pay when called out. Numerous Volunteer units were formed around the country. British Volunteer strength peaked in 1803 at a remarkable total of some 440,000, but with the defeat of Napoleon they were all disbanded. In 1859 after another threat of Invasion Volunteer rifle units throughout Britain were reinstated. The Scarborough Volunteer Rifles were part of the historic Yorkshire Rifle Volunteer Corps. They became part of the North York Militia, then the North York Rifles, and later a battalion of the Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment). The 1827 pattern is defined by gothic bar guard hilt coupled with the usual Royal Cypher with strung bugle cartouche badge of the Rifle Brigade (see page 174 of World Swords by Withers). This is an original 1827 Pattern Scarborough Rifles Officer’s Sword. The sword has a clean 32 ½” blade (38 ½” overall) with fullers and original leather hilt washer. The blade has etched & blued foliate panels together with ‘Scarboro Rifles’, the slung bugle of the Rifle Brigade Queen’s crown and ‘VR’ Royal Cypher (Victoria Regina). The blade also has ordnance proof star and roundel & is signed by the maker or retailer ‘Hart & Hill, Scarboro’. It has the correct steel gothic bar knuckle guard with the Rifle Brigade 'Queen’s Crown with slung bugle' badge and curved stepped pommel. The fish skin covering on the grip grip is very good, the grip’s copper wire binding is all present and tight. It is complete with its steel scabbard with 2 hanging rings and shoe. The scabbard has areas of staining consistent with age but no dents. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23156
