WWII Era Bersaglieri Light Infantry Hat With 1st Bersaglieri Plate & Black Capercaillie Feather Cockade. Sn 13203. - 13203
The Bersaglieri (Marksmen in English) are a corps of the Italian Army originally created by General Alessandro La Marmora on 18 June 1836 to serve in the Army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, later to become the Royal Italian Army. They have always been a high-mobility light infantry unit, and can still be recognized by the distinctive wide brimmed hat that they wear (only in dress uniform in modern times), decorated with black capercaillie feathers. The feathers are usually applied to their combat helmets. Another distinctive trait of the Bersaglieri is the fast jog pace they keep on parades, instead of marching. Italy began the Second World War with 12 Bersaglieri Regiments of three battalions each. Over the preceding years the Army had resisted suggestions to dilute their quality, and recruits continued to be of above-average size and stamina, endured intense physical training and had to qualify as marksmen. The Bersaglieri fought in southern France and then in Greece, later, Bersaglieri Regiments were also deployed on the Eastern Front. One Battalion of Bersaglieri participated in the East African Campaign. This is an original WW2 Era Bersaglieri Hat. The helmet’s body, sweatband, lining and leather chin strap are clean but have areas of surface wear consistent with age. The front of the helmet has its original large gold coloured metal plate with Number ‘1’ to the 1st Bersaglieri Light Infantry mounted on a cloth rosette in the colours of the Italian flag. The hat has its original leather chin strap with buckle and is mounted with the correct original Capercaillie Feather cockade. The helmet is approx; UK size 7. Price includes UK delivery. Sn 13203.

Original Victorian Era Indian Pata Gauntlet Long Sword. Sn - 20200
Pata swordsmen of the 17th century through to the Victorian era were specially trained in the use of this weapon, and could be extremely accurate with this somewhat unusual sword form.

The steel gauntlet on this example has nice age darkened patina. The sword has a 34 ½” flat steel double edged blade and measures 47” overall. The blade is riveted to the ornate extended tang of the Gauntlet. The blade is undamaged with even aged patina. The inside of the gauntlet has a steel bar grip set across the inside of the first part of the gauntlet. The 'cuff' of the gauntlet has a curved fore arm bar/ bracelet which hooks into 2 holes, one either side of the gauntlet. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 20200.

*Unique/Mint* The Haenel Model 28 with Bespoke Hardwood Case Containing Two Barrels .177 & .22 and Accessories. 21624. - 21624
Hugo Schmeisser designed this pistol in 1927, but production didn’t start until around 1933. It continued up to the start of WWII, but ended there. Approximately 25,000 model 28s were made, along with a few thousand earlier unnumbered guns. You cannot help but notice the similarity of the shape to the famous P08 or Luger, which has given rise to speculation that Haenel 28s were used for military training. Germany did make use of many long airguns as rifle trainers. The trigger is a single-stage. The pull is even and breaks at 7 lbs. The front sight is a barleycorn mounted on a dovetail. The rear is a V-notch mounted on an adjustable leaf with its own dovetail. Adjustment comes via a small screw at the back of the leaf. The serial number of this example is 22073 which is stamped to the base of the strap. The grips and main body of the pistol are in excellent condition. The pistol comes with the two interchangeable barrels .177 & .22 it makes this a very useable piece. The handmade hardwood case has been modelled to fit the pistol perfectly and to accommodate the extra barrel, felt lined pellet tins and cleaning brush. This is a true one-off and a must for the collector or enthusiast. The pistol cocks and fires perfectly with a strong spring action. The price includes UK delivery. NB As a post 1939 Air Pistol the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale & delivery of this item. 21624.
