A unique mid-19thC and later over-sized exhibition quality silver propelling pencil, reputedly exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851, the hexagonal body hand-engraved with Persian or Indian style leaves and flowers over a curving chased ground, with plain hexagonal collar with two plain circular bands sliding to extend the lead holder, the curved hexagonal hollow terminal finely engraved with similar motifs with a band of stylised Egyptian palmettes, set with a bloodstone disc, and unscrewing to reveal storage with leads to fit the pencil, the body with WBS maker's mark for William 'Bob' Smith, and London hallmarks for 2000, total weight including mechanism 1126g, 54.5cm long extended, 40.5cm long closed, together with a late 19thC silver Mordan pencil of the same form, with plain finish, stamped 'S.MORDAN & CO.', 9.4cm long closed. (2)FOOTNOTE: When this pencil was acquired by the vendor, it was in poor, crushed condition, having been found in a Birmingham jeweller's warehouse that was being cleared and contained other items reputedly from the Great Exhibition. It was restored professionally to top standards as a 'passion project' by silversmith, craftsman and jeweller 'Bob' (William Robert) Smith and pencil and propelling pencil expert and restorer Neil Davis. Smith added his own hallmarks to the piece to comply with legal requirements, as the piece was not previously hallmarked. The stand that this unique piece was displayed at in the Great Exhibition is sadly unknown, although Sampson Mordan did exhibit at the Great Exhibition of 1851. A unique and visually stunning piece of superb, exhibition quality that will undoubtedly launch a fascinating research project, as well as crown any propelling pencil collection.Condition: Restored, mechanism functioning. Only very light surface wear over the past two decades. Lightly tarnished. Immaculate, really.Packing & Shipping Let us take the hassle of sorting out packing and shipping from you.

London Gazette 17 October 1919, the original recommendation states:'H.M.S. Craigie. Displayed great skill and coolness in handling the twin screw sweepers under his orders. The conditions were difficult and at times hazardous and it is largely owing to the magnificent work done by the twin screw sweepers that a channel through the Dardanelles has been cleared of mines.'Harold de Gallye Lamotte was born at Kingston on Thames on 2 December 1882, the son of barrister William de Gallye Lamotte. He joined H.M.S. Brittania as a Midshipman on 15 January 1900 and was appointed Sub. Lieutenant 15 January 1903. Given his first command appointment on 14 July 1904 Lamotte joined H.M.T.B. 45, a first-class torpedo boat, and was subsequently advanced to Lieutenant on15 January 1905.His next appointment was aboard Prosperine from July 1910 until August 1912 chasing gun runners in the Merran coast and qualifying for his Naval General Service Medal. On 15 January 1913 he was advanced to Lieutenant-Commander.Seagull and MuskerryAfter a period of training, Lamotte was given his next command appointment of H.M.S. Seagull, a former torpedo gunboat which had been converted to a minesweeper on 17 December 1914.Seagull joined the newly established Grand Fleet. The old torpedo gunboats such as Seagull were not well suited to continual use in the rough waters around Scapa Flow, and in July 1915 Seagull and sister ship Spanker were deployed to Harwich to sweep ahead of the Harwich Force when it went to sea.On 15 February 1917 Seagull was east of Aldeburgh when a periscope, probably of the German submarine UC-1, was spotted. Seagull dropped two depth charges on the wake of the periscope. He left Seagull on 22 May 1917 to command Muskerry from June 1917 until March 1918.CraigieLamotte was given command of Craigie on 26 July 1918.

The rare 'H.M.Y. Helga, Irish Sea 1918' D.S.M. group of six awarded to Leading Deck Hand E. E. Duff, Royal Navy and Merchant Fleet Auxiliary, who was in charge of Helga's gun when she was credited with sinking a German submarineDespite her Irish heritage, Helga was commandeered by the Admiralty in March 1915 and later used by the Royal Navy to shell Liberty Hall in Dublin from the River Liffey with her pair of 12-pounder naval guns during the Easter Rising of 1916Distinguished Service Medal, G.V.R.

London Gazette 29 November 1918, the original citation states:'HMY Helga attack on enemy Irish Sea 4 April 1918. In charge of gun when HMY Helga sank an enemy submarine.'Ernest Edwin Duff was born at Deal, Kent on 12 April 1885. A telegraph boy, he enlisted in the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class on 12 April 1903. A succession of shore and sea-based appointments followed and on 21 February 1911 he was drafted to Highflyer, serving aboard her until 29 May 1913. Later that same year he was invalided from the service with myopia on 9 October.Duff married Kathleen Power in Dublin in September 1916 and despite his disability enrolled in the Merchant Fleet Auxiliary, joining H.M.Y. Helga for service during the Great War.1916 Easter UprisingChris Shouldice takes up the story in his online article 'The Captain's Table':'HMY Helga is infamously known for its role in shelling Dublin during the 1916 Rising but before she was pressed into war service, she had a far more benign profession as a protection cruiser and research vessel for the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction. Built in the Liffey Dockyard in Dublin in 1908 and originally named the Helga II, her purpose was to engage in fishery patrols, monitoring the coast for any illegal fishing activity. She was also equipped with a laboratory for marine research and took part in research projects like the survey of Clare Island in 1909.As the British found themselves in an unexpectedly lengthening war in Europe, she was taken over by the Admiralty in 1915 for military purposes as an armed auxiliary patrol yacht. She was renamed the HMY Helga and served as an anti-submarine patrol vessel and an armed escort.It was however in Ireland during the 1916 Rising that the Helga's most notable acts occurred. The Helga was summoned by British forces to the capital to use artillery to root out Irish Volunteers. On the 26th of April 1916, positioned on the Liffey, she raised her 12-pound artillery guns over the Loop Line railway bridge and fired at her first target Liberty Hall, the headquarters of the Citizen Army. Her shots were less than accurate, and her shells destroyed much of the surrounding buildings and beyond. She also targeted the GPO and Bolland Mills which Eamon De Valera had occupied.1918 rescuing survivors from R.M.S. Leinster.In 1918, she successful sank a German U-Boat Submarine off the coast of the Isle of Man. This was the Helga's first and sole confirmed sinking during the war. However, the presence of U-boats continued to be a real threat to the merchant and passenger vessels in the Irish Sea.In 1917, the Germans began placing their U-boats in the Approaches, the name given to the region near the entrance and exit to the Irish Sea. This was an attempt to stifle the British attempts at Trans-Atlantic trade. The RMS Leinster was typical of their targets, a passenger ship which, along with three other sister ships, made daily crossings from Kingstown (now Dún Laoghaire) to Holyhead. Known for its exceptional speed, the RMS Leinster held a place of pride in Irish eyes, as it was seen to be their representative in the commercial competition over the Irish Sea. The Leinster along with its sister ships, had won the tender for the Royal Mail delivery from Ireland to the British mainland. While it provided valuable employment to the people of Kingstown and Holyhead in Wales, the requirements of this contract were strict. There was a stipulation that the post collected in Dublin had to be delivered to the mainland the following day. This meant that the RMS Leinster ran daily, and on-time no matter the circumstances.On the morning of the 9th of October (1918), the RMS Leinster set out from Dun Laoghaire, filled to capacity, for what was to be its final voyage. Despite the U-boat warnings, that morning was no different, the war had been in action for four years, and the crossings were routinely unprotected. Furthermore, the level of censorship which the British government exercised over the press meant that many civilians were largely unaware of the danger that awaited them. Lurking under the waters off Kish Island was U-boat 123, which had already sunk two boats since it left Germany days earlier. At 09:45, the first torpedo was fired, shooting past the brow of the Leinster. The second was a direct hit, and a third torpedo sunk the entire vessel.Coaling, or refuelling, that same morning in Dublin was HMY Helga, the same ship which had been shelling the city two and a half years earlier. That day however, the Helga succeeded in being first on the scene of the Leinster sinking, and managed reach it just in time to rescue approximately 90 passengers, though there is some confusion as to the exact number. These passengers were not returned to Kingstown but disembarked in Wales. Due the controls on wartime press, the British government were keen to keep any such disasters out of the public eye'.Duff died on 11 November 1935 at Dover, at the time he was employed on the Trinity House Pilot Cutter, S.S. Prudence. (The Dover Express of 22 November 1935 refers).Sold together with his silver wound badge, this numbered B158828, a copy photo of Helga, a postcard of Highflyer, copy of Helga's ships log from the National Maritime Museum for 4-5 April 1918 and a copy of Irish Naval service.…

The 'South Persia 1918' M.M. awarded to Lance Corporal P. Batson, 21st Lancers, attached South Persia RiflesMilitary Medal, G.V.R. (1940 L.Cpl. P. Batson. 21/Lrs:), heavy polishing and contact wear overall, nearly very fineM.M. London Gazette 10 September 1918.Percy Batson entered the war at Hafiz on 5 September 1915 with the 21st (Empress of India's) Lancers, he would doubtless have taken part in the Regiment's famous V.C. winning action at Shabqadar. However he is unlikely to have remained there for long being attached to the South Persia Rifles. This unit was formed in response to the chaos which infected Persia in the wake of the outbreak of the Great War. The local tribes were restive at the best of times, especially with the Government becoming increasingly unpopular and worse they were being incited to revolt by German agents.In order to combat this threat, the British persuaded the Persian Government to allow them to raise a force of 11,000 men with the goal of stabilising the situation around the vital oil fields. Commanded by Sir Percy Sykes the unit consisted of local Persians trained and commanded by British officers and N.C.O.s, they were supported by Indian troops and later by Dunsterforce and Norperforce in North Persia.It appears that Batson- who is listed as attached to the formation on his M.M. medal card- was serving with them likely as a British N.C.O. training and leading part of the cavalry detachment. His service here further entitled him to a General Service Medal with a South Persia Clasp. Notably Batson is further entitled to an India General Service Medal with a clasp for Afghanistan 1919 where he is listed as attached to the 'Persian Gendarmerie'. This unit- set up by Swedish Officers in 1910- had been largely superseded by the South Persia Rifles however when the latter unit was disbanded it again became the primary tool for keeping order in the Persian hinterlands.Batson was discharged in 1919 but re-joined almost at once on 26 July 1919, listing his address as Chiswick where he was working as a machinist. Joining the Royal Tank Corps he served until 7 December 1928 when he was finally discharged; sold together with copied research.Further entitled to a 1914-15 trio, a G.S.M. with South Persia Clasp and I.G.S.M. with Afghanistan 1919 clasp.…

Still serving with the Regiment during the start of the Second Anglo-Burmese War he was with them at the capture of Ilangonn and Rangoon in April 1852. Later in the year the unit was involved in the hunt for the fugitive Governor of Rangoon and finally the capture of Prome in October 1852. Ranken saw further fighting in the country during the capture of Meeaday in January 1853 and several other minor actions.Still serving as a Captain on the outbreak of the Indian Mutiny some five years later Ranken was stationed with the Sauger Field Force as Executive Commissariat Officer under General Whitlock. This was swiftly followed on with the appointment of Assistant to the General Superintendent of Operations for the suppression of the Thuggee and Dacoity groups operating in the Jubbulpore District on 8 June 1860.Transferring to the Madras Staff Corps on 18 February 1861, he was advanced Major on 12 June of that year and passed his examinations as an interpreter in Hindustani and Persian by 1865.

A rare 'Banda Neira' Naval General Service Medal awarded to Sailmaker's Mate R. Cheeseman, Royal Navy, who served aboard H.M.S. Caroline and with her participated in the impressive action of 18 October 1806, fought pirates in the Persian Gulf, took part in the heroic capture of Banda Neira under Captain Cole, was wounded by a musket ball to his left arm near Java, and later as Captain of the Afterguard served off the coast of Canada in the War of 1812Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Banda Neira (Robert Cheeseman.), light contact marks and a slight edge bruise, otherwise good very fineProvenance:Whitaker Collection, 1890.Glendining's, June 1986.Noonan's, July 2021.Robert Cheeseman is confirmed on the roll with entitlement to this medal and clasp for his service as Sailmaker's Mate aboard H.M.S. Caroline during the capture of Banda Neira. He is one of only 68 recipients of this clasp, and the sole Sailmaker's Mate.Cheeseman was born at Deptford, London circa 1783 and found work as a bricklayer prior to entering the Royal Navy on 23 March 1803, aged twenty. His first posting was aboard the 36-gun fifth-rate frigate H.M.S. Caroline, launched at Rotherhithe in 1795. Initially ranked as a Landsman upon his enlistment, Cheeseman must have been a capable sailor as he found steady promotion to positions of responsibility throughout his eleven years of service.Caroline was captained by Benjamin William Page when joined by Cheeseman, and set sail for the East Indies in May 1803 with secret orders to bring news of the start of the Napoleonic Wars. Whilst en route she captured a number of vessels, including the Dutch Haasje which had been carrying dispatches from Napoleon. Haasje was sent in to the remote island of St. Helena, which would of course later host the exiled French Emperor, bringing the news of war. She arrived in the East Indies on 6 September and spent the next several months escorting East India Company convoys and capturing French privateers. For Caroline's success in the capture of many enemy privateers, the grateful merchant communities of Madras and Bombay presented Captain Page with swords worth 500 guineas, no small sum with a value of over £60,000 today.At an unknown date Cheeseman was wounded by a musket ball to his left arm while serving in the South Seas in the Strait of Sunda, between the islands of Java and Sumatra. The circumstances surrounding this wound are unknown, but it was later noted in his pension register.East Indies and the Action of 18 October 1806Cheeseman had his first promotion to Ordinary Seaman on 1 January 1805, with command of Caroline transferred in April to Captain Peter Rainier - who was only twenty years old at the time of his appointment. It is worthy to also note that until mid-1805 James Johnson, later physician extraordinary to King William IV, was acting as the ship's surgeon and his time aboard her was essential in gathering material for his influential publications on tropical diseases.Caroline found great success during the Java Campaign of 1806-7, and with young Captain Rainier at her helm fought the action of 18 October 1806 against a Dutch squadron. While patrolling off the coast of Batavia Caroline captured a small Dutch brig, whose crew informed Rainier that the frigate Phoenix was under repair and vulnerable nearby. The captain resolved to bring her out, but while on approach was spotted by two small warships. Caroline then captured the 14-gun brig Zeerop without firing a single shot, while the other escaped by hugging the coast. Phoenix took the opportunity of the delay to sail to the well-defended Batavia harbour. Whilst in pursuit of Phoenix, Caroline sighted at anchor in the Batavia Roads the 36-gun frigate Maria Reijersbergen along with three smaller warships.Facing a force significantly stronger than Caroline and with the ability to call on the harbour gunboats for aid, the confident Rainier immediately made for Maria Reijersbergen. The gallant Captain himself takes up the story in his report to Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge:'As I distinctly made out the frigate to be the largest ship in the road, I ran for her with springs on both cables [allowing her to easily turn at anchor]; the enemy commenced firing at us as soon as we were within gun-shot, which was not returned till we came as close as the wind would allow us, which was within half-pistol-shot, when we opened our fire. The action continued about half an hour, when the enemy hauled down her colours. On boarding, she proved to be the Dutch republican frigate Maria Reygersbergen, of 36 guns, 18-pounders on the main-deck, and 270 men, commanded by Captain Jager, second in command. The Maria was launched in 1800, and is a fast sailing ship. We had to encounter, besides the frigate, the William of 20 guns, Patriot 18, and Zeeplong 14, with several gun-boats; and there were thirty gunboats lying in shore, which did not attempt to come out. I beg leave to state, that when the action commenced we were short of complement, by men away in prizes, sick at hospitals, &c. 57 in number.'The British suffered only three killed and eighteen wounded, while the enemy sustained over fifty casualties. The shallow water did not allow her to safely attack the others but the enemy ships, as well as a further six merchant vessels, nevertheless ran themselves aground to escape capture by Caroline. Maria Reijersbergen was later brought into the service of the Royal Navy as H.M.S. Java.Cheeseman was advanced Able Seaman a couple of months after the engagement on 15 December. Caroline was next involved in an exciting exchange on 27 January 1807 after convoying near the Philippine Islands. Spotting a strange sail, she made chase and when within range the 16-gun ship raised Spanish colours and opened fire. Rainier opened fire in turn and forced her surrender after inflicting twenty-seven casualties. The mystery vessel's identity was revealed as St. Raphael sailing under the alias Pallas, carrying a valuable cargo which included £500,000 of bullion coin and 1,700 quintals of copper. In capturing this treasure ship Caroline suffered but seven men wounded.By June, Caroline joined the squadron of Rear-Admiral Edward Pellew. She was sent along with the frigate H.M.S. Psyche on a mission to find Dutch ships which escaped destruction at the Batavia Roads. The two captured a smaller enemy vessel near Surabaya in August, who revealed to the British that there were a number of Dutch ships of the line in a state of disrepair at the port of Griessie. After a reconnoitre of Griessie, Psyche and Caroline destroyed a number of merchant ships and shared in the capture of Dutch corvette Scipio, later brought into Royal Naval service as H.M.S. Samarang.In September, command of Caroline passed to Captain (later Rear-Admiral) Henry Hart who sailed her along with the rest of Pellew's squadron back to attack the ships at Griessie. During the attack, Caroline was for some time used as Pellew's flagship after the grounding of Culloden. Hart was charged with orchestrating the landing parties and he successfully coordinated the raid on Griessie and the destruction of the port's infrastructure. This action brought to an end the presence of an active Dutch navy in the East Indies. 25001 SALEROOM NOTICE:Lot is NOT subject to 5% Import Tax.
