Frank Unrath: “This is a catalogue you are able to use for enjoyment by looking at the fantastic photography or for research, with all the dates and measurements you need”.

NOTICE:

The whole of the following military badge, uniform and headdress lots are described as accurately as possible. However, not withstanding any statement concerning same, all of the lots are all sold AS VIEWED and are not subject to return.

1. BISHOPSGATE VOLUNTEERS COATEE, BREECHES AND HOSE , 1798-1801. The dress coatee is of scarlet cloth with navy blue facings and edged all round with narrow white piping, there are ‘wing’ epaulettes trimmed with a silver wire fringe, presumably indicating that the volunteer was in the Grenadier or Light Company. The round cuffs fasten via cloth covered buttons one red one blue, thirtynine plated buttons are present out of forty. These are all flat, open back, marked, ‘I. Fearn’ ‘Lombard St.’ 18mm. The design is incised showing the crown over script capitals, ‘BV’. The quite coarse off-white lining (with waxed linen pocket lining) is complete and original. The coatee’s lapels don’t ‘work’ so it must be assumed this was his ‘best parade’ garment. The off-white woollen breeches have a ‘fall-front’, this and the short fly decorated with flat, open back, plain plated buttons (unmarked). Two similar buttons at the rear, one broken. Cloth covered buttons at the knees. Original lining throughout. The hose, certainly of the period are of fine manufacture, are full length, so would have required garter fasteners, the size of the foot 24.5cm most probably indicates a gentleman user. Each stocking has white finely sewn initials at the top, one, ‘O A coronet?’ the other ‘D J coronet?’. Some simple flocking to the lower areas, the coatee with some small mothed areas and some surface mothing, the lining with minor holes, one cuff restitched (poorly) at some time. The breeches with damage to the rear waist area and a few minor sewn repairs, some surface mothing, the hose in good condition. (3)

(with waxed linen pocket lining) is one, breeches with damage to the rear

NOTE. The Bishopsgate Volunteers were raised 1st May 1798 under Alderman Sir Richard Glynn and comprised two companies. The executive commanders were Majors William Lennox and Robert Wigram. The corps received its Colours 18th October 1798 in the East India Company’s Drill Ground. See Rowlandson, ‘Loyal Volunteers of London & Environs’, Plate number 25. The unit was not reformed in 1803 but most of the officers and men formed part of the 6th Battalion,

The Loyal London Regiment, Wigram being appointed Lieutenant Colonel Commandant. Eleven such regiments were formed. The address on the buttons for I. Fearn is correct for the period. £1500-2500

back, marked, ‘I. Fearn’ ‘Lombard St.’

GEORGIAN PERIOD, THE HON. EAST INDIA COMPANY CIVILIAN OFFICIAL’S FULL

DRESS UNIFORM c.1822-1829, comprising a bicorne hat, coatee and knee length breeches, three very fine and rare items. The hat of stiffened black fabric is decorated at either end with blackened silver lace fringes, the front bears a single chevron of patterned gold lace 15mm in depth, with a small retaining gilt button at the point, open back, convex, bearing the HEIC Lion (12mm). The hat has the original waxed black linen lining. The coatee in navy blue cloth has a ‘stand-up’ collar (8.3cm) and double breasted ‘cuirass’ front in black velvet. The cuffs with a chevron front pattern are again in black velvet. The front, cuffs and skirt pocket areas are complete with single black cord ‘lace’ and gilt metal buttons, all are flat, open back and bear the HEIC Lion within an oval cartouche so can be dated therefore as no earlier than 1812, the large ones are 20mm and the small 15mm. The back mark on the large ones examined is ‘Treble Gilt Standard Colour’. The complete white cloth and silk lining is quilted in areas. The light weight woollen knee length breeches with a ‘fall-front’ though undoubtedly of the period are not a true match to the hat and coatee, in that the pattern on all the buttons is different, being that of the (HEIC) Bengal Pilot Service. The Lion is placed on an heraldic ‘red’ shield and the whole on an heraldic ‘gold’ ground. The buttons are near flat open back, have a burnished rim and are again marked, ‘Treble Gilt Standard Colour’. (three large, three small 20 & 14mm) . At the knee there are four small linen covered buttons, a linen tightening strap and provision for a button, now lacking, the gold lace chevron on the hat is dull otherwise in remarkably good condition, the coatee has some splitting to the velvet collar and some small mothed areas, the lining in good overall condition other than some slight staining, the breeches with poorly repaired small tears mainly in the crutch area, otherwise, again in good condition. (3)

and skirt pocket areas are complete

cartouche so can be dated therefore other than some slight staining, the an HEIC’ s marine officer’s uniform,

NOTE. A label states that this an HEIC’ s marine officer’s uniform, however known portraits of such officers indicate that their coatees bore gold lace decoration in varying degrees dependant on rank, also black velvet facings would not have worn well on the long sea voyages. There are sundry portraits of HEIC officials on

£1500-2500

embassies to the native princes accompanied by their military counterparts wearing uniforms such as the one described above.

3.

SHAKO 18121816. A good quality period item, in plain black stout felt, the false front (19.4cm) is bound around the top with black braid (1.4cm) and at the base with similar braid (2.4cm), similar braid around the body (1.4cm). The height of the body is (14cm) and is (18.8cm) across the crown. The peak unbound. The thin gauge brass die-stamped plate of standard outline but bears the special badges authorised to the regiment, (not removable for inspection). The plaited green festoon is of the wrong material and is a replacement. The black braid Hanoverian cockade (a probable replacement) bears a plain (dented) button. The buff leather sweatband and cartridge type paper lining later replacements (perhaps mid 19 th century). Two labels state that this shako was once in the ‘Jeanne Sully Collection, Fontainbleau’ and the “Musee Cotton 1909 ”, considerable wear and mothing commensurate with age, the false front braid patched in places. The shako requires careful restoration and conservation.

£2000-3000

1ST REGIMENT OF FOOT OR THE ROYAL SCOTS OTHER RANKS

4. AN

SHAKO. The majority of which appears to be of the period, of stiffened black felt and bearing a die-stamped brass plate with central ‘GR’ cypher, this attached with wire through three points, the wire on two of these points is modern. The plate is also retained via a heavily rusted wire passing through the usual loop fasteners. Wear to the false front

exposes a wire stiffener; the peak is bound and therefore not of the period. The one inch black braid binding around the base of the shako appears to be original. The green cord festoons are of the right gauge though show no signs of wear. The black braid cockade has a central mount of a tiny strung bugle horn, very much of the period. A short red over white cock’s feather plume. Sweat band missing, the lining of stiffened paper, a pasted in printed label, states, ‘Catalogue Of The Late Sergeant-Major Cotton’s Waterloo Library & Museum’. There is also a period stiffened paper hand-written label attached to the festoons, ‘British Infantry ??????? Shako from Hougamont. E. Cotton’, damage to the false front, mothing to the crown, some restitching.

£500-800

OTHER RANKS 1812-1816

SHAKO 1800-1806. This example appears to conform to the pattern described in a General Order for 1800. However it is known that four Line Infantry regiments were ordered to adopt same in 1798 and the 5th/60th had worn a similar hat in 1797. This example is eight inches in height and seven inches across the crown. It is very solid in structure, the outer layer of the body being made from two panels of lacquered material; the bottom bracing band is of very stout leather, the crown with a final covering as per the body. The front peak is a replacement being bound. To the rear is a ‘let-down’ flexible leather peak (noted in some issues), this is sewn in between the body and the stout leather bracing band. This peak is fitted on the corners with two very small metal rings, purpose unknown. The frontal plate (officially called the ‘Trophy Plate’) is in thin gauge diestamped brass and appears to be of good quality. This is topped with a circular well constructed multi-layered black fabric cockade, this with a small brass period button for the Cinque Ports Volunteers (1794-1808). Stout leather sweat band and ribbed crimson fabric lining. At some time there may have been an attached festoon or ribbon to the upper body as the remains of sewing points are evident, good condition.

£1500-2500

5. A BRITISH INFANTRY

6. FRENCH 1ST EMPIRE, 37 TH REGIMENT OF LINE, AN HISTORIC SHAKO. A most rare and important original example, worn by ‘M. Berthon’, who, according to a period label, saw service in ‘Allemagne 1809, Hollande 1810, Espagne 1811, 1812, 1813, Waterloo 1815’. Further labels show that the shako was in the Jeanne Sully Collection, Fontainebleau It was Catalogue number 780 at a famous Exhibition held in Paris? in 1900. Further details contained in this label show that Berthon was a Conscript in the class of 1808. The shako of stiffened black felt is 7.5 inches in height, 9.25 inches across the crown, this is of leather with a slightly sunken top, a near 1 inch turn-over and a half inch bottom bracing band. The front peak in unstiffened leather is unbound and 2 inches maximum in width. The shako plate in thin

gauge die-stamped brass features the imperial Eagle and pierced ‘37’. A tooled leather circular tri-colour above with small plain button. The graded brass chin scales of scallop format are tied up behind the cockade (fastener lacking); the side ornaments in brass are circular with a five-point central star, two supports for the cord festoons are located on the crown turn-down, and feature hooked five pointed stars. The sweat band of black cotton material, now faded and worn. The caplines/festoons with ‘flounder’ finials are in white plaited cord and are probably period replacements, good condition for age. The interior also is pasted with a printed label pertaining to Cotton’s Waterloo Museum of Relics and their auction on Tuesday October 5th 1909.

£3000-5000

7. FRENCH 1ST EMPIRE, CARABINIERS, AN HISTORIC HELMET. A most rare and important original example retrieved from the battlefield of Waterloo. Period labels show that the helmet was formerly in the Jeanne Sully Collection, Fontainebleau and thence into the ‘Waterloo Cotton Museum’. A small silver shield has been applied to the frontal plate stating, ‘From Sgt-Major Cotton’s Waterloo Museum Sale 1909’.

The helmet is mainly in brass, the skull of sloping shape with pointed frontal peak, the high crest decorated

over all with laurels, this with the original stiffened red horse hair plume. A plated white metal band around the lower skull terminates in a triangular frontal plate, this of brass with an applied white metal ‘N’. This possibly a hurried replacement for the Royal Arms of Louis XVIII. Decorated circular side supports and tapered decorated chin scales, still with original buckle fastener. No lining remains, the skull dented and with one split, the front peak with holes and splits.

£3000-5000

390. A 17 TH CENTURY ENGLISH CIVIL WAR

RELATED

SILVER MOUNTED LEATHER COVERED

FLASK

BELONGING TO SIR THOMAS

FAIRFAX , unhallmarked, the silver rim inscribed THOMAS LORD FAIRFAX to the front, and 1646 flanked by flower heads to the reverse, stitched seams flank the leather front face embossed with circles and opposing hearts motif, centred with a silver crest with a leopard’s head flanked by FARE FAC, within ribbons and a laurel wreath surmounted by a crown, 27.5cm wide x 20.5cm high. Damages mainly to the reverse.

A very similar flask with the same central crest is on loan to the National Civil War Centre from the current Fairfax family. In 1646 the ongoing Siege of Oxford ended in a Parliamentary victory, and it has been suggested that this flask was made to mark this occasion, possibly as a gift from Cromwell.

Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Baron Fairfax (1612-1671)

A Yorkshireman, Fairfax was Commander in Chief of the Parliamentary army, the New Model Army, during the English Civil Wars, despite having sympathy for Charles I (who in 1647 described him as a ‘man of honour’ who ‘keeps his word’).

He was a renowned military tactician, known for his bravery (even when wounded) and his innate sense of timing in a battle. These qualities lead to many important victories for the Parliamentarians including the Battle of Naseby and the fall of Oxford. Even though he had been appointed as head of the judges, Fairfax refused to attend the sham trial of Charles I, and, having always been opposed to military rule, he ended up being instrumental in the restoration of Charles II in 1660.

Following this, Fairfax retired to Yorkshire, dying at Nun Appleton Priory in 1671.
