*RARE*, Matching Serial Low Number, Nazi Germany, Walther Patent Model H.P. (Pre P38) Pistol in a 1943 Dated Army Holster. 1987 Deactivation Certificate. Sn - 22901:2 About 30,000 Walther HP pistols were produced pre WW2, mainly chambered in 9×19mm. The Luger P08 service pistol was expensive to produce, and Germany started to look for a replacement as early as 1927, settling on the Walther P38 in 1938, which offered similar performance to the Luger P08 but took almost half the time to produce. The first design was submitted to the German Army and featured a locked breech and a hidden hammer but the Army requested that it should be redesigned with an external hammer. The P38 concept was accepted by the German military in 1938 but production of prototype pistols did not begin until late 1939. Walther began manufacture at their plant in Zella-Mehlis and produced three series of Test pistols. The third series pistols solved the problems for the German Army and mass production began in mid-1940. After the production of approximately 30,000 HP pistols, production was switched to the military P38 pistol although some HP pistols were sold commercially in Germany which had a high quality finish. This is a rare early production Walther P38 pistol manufactured at the Zella Milia plant with the low matching serial number of 4034 which is stamped on the receiver, slide, barrel and the locking block. The pistol retains most of its original blued finish and the grips are undamaged. The gun also carries commercial proof marks. The left hand side of the receiver is stamped Waffenfabrik Walther Zella-Melis (Thur) Walther’s Patent Cal 9m/m. The magazine is stamped Walther P38u. The pistol is contained in a black 1943 dated military soft shell belt holster which is stamped between the belt loops 1943 (1943 date) and a waffenampt. Deactivated to early UK specification in 1987 the pistol cocks, dry fires, the safety catch works, the magazine can be removed and the gun is strippable. The price for this early Walther Model HP, the forerunner of the P38 pistol includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. Sn 22901:2 £2,200.00 |

**QUALITY**NAMED VICTORIAN 1848-1884 PROMINENT BRITISH ROYAL NAVY CAPTAIN’S 2 DRAW DAY OR NIGHT BRASS TELESCOPE**By Thomas Harris & Sons London Engraved To 'Capt H. Chads R.N’ With Sliding Eye Piece & Lens Shutters. Sn 22896 - 22896 The most prominent "Captain Chads" of the Royal Navy were two men from the same family: Henry Ducie Chads (1788-1868), an officer from the Napoleonic Wars to the Crimean War, and his son, Admiral Sir Henry Chads (1819-1906), who served as Commander-in-Chief of The Nore. The family also had a prior ancestor, Captain Henry Chads R.N. (died 1799), who was the father of Henry Ducie Chads. Admiral Sir Henry Chads KCB (27 October 1819 – 29 June 1906) was a Royal Navy officer who went on to be Commander-in-Chief, The Nore. Born the son of Admiral Sir Henry Ducie Chads, Henry Chads joined the Royal Navy in 1832 and went on to take part in operations against Malay pirates in the Strait of Malacca. Promoted to Captain in 1848, he commanded HMS Portland, HMS Amphion, HMS Conway, HMS Nile and then HMS London. He was appointed Captain-Superintendent of Deptford Dockyard in 1863 and Commander-in-Chief, The Nore in 1876 before retiring in 1884. He lived at Portland House in Southsea and there is a memorial to him in St Judes Church in Portsmouth. Thomas Harris originally established his firm in 1780 based at 9 and 22 Cornhill, London. He brought his son William into the firm in 1806 to form T Harris & Son – moving to 140 Fleet Street in the same year, and then 20 Duke Street in 1808. Between 1810 and 1817 they were based at 30 Hyde Park, but their main premises were at 52 Great Russell Street, occupying this address between 1816 and 1885. By 1890 they were at 32 Gracechurch Street, remaining there until 1901. The company had a royal appointment to the Prince Regent in 1819 and to King George IV in 1820. T. Harris & Son were known as opticians and makers of globes, mathematical instruments, and telescopes. Their ‘Day or Night’ telescopes were commonly used on board ship. As the name suggests, they could also be used at night because they had relatively large objective lenses to collect the maximum amount of light. Telescopes of this kind, marketed as “Day or Night,” were particularly valuable to Royal Navy Captains & watch officers stationed on deck at night.. This is an original ROYAL NAVY CAPTAIN’S 2 DRAW DAY OR NIGHT BRASS TELESCOPE By Thomas Harris & Sons London, the rim of the barrel engraved To Capt H. Chads R.N’. It is made brass & the barrel is bound with basket weave for grip and protection. One draw is signed by the maker ‘T. Harris & Sons London Day Or Night’. All optics of the telescope are excellent and function as they should. The scope has sliding brass shutters to protect the eyepiece and lens. The scope is 15 ¼” in length when closed and 35” length fully drawn. The price for this telescope by a quality maker attributed to a Prominent British Royal Navy Captain includes UK delivery.
