M1 carbines saw service in WW2, The Korean War & The Vietnam War. This is a nice example of a WW2 era U.S. M1 .30 calibre Carbine manufactured by Winchester. Production of the .30 Calibre Carbine was overshadowed by the production of many of the other companies as Winchester was unable to devote their full resources to the carbines alone.

Our Winchester example is serial number 5612415 which is stamped on the rear of the action along with ‘Winchester’. The breech is marked ‘US Carbine Cal .30 M1’. The barrel is stamped ‘W’ (Winchester). It has the correct rear swivel peep sight, winged fore sight and forward sling swivel. The all original wood is excellent and is stamped with numbers (illustrated). The stock is slotted for sling anchor & it has a chequered steel butt plate.

Deactivated to very early UK specification in 1987 the weapon cocks & dry fires, the magazine can be removed and loaded with inert deactivated rounds.

WWI HMS Royal Oak Inscribed Silver-Plated Ships Voice Pipe, Modelled into a Paper Weight/Candle Holder, with an Accompanying Book on the Sinking of the Ship. 22146. - 22146
A bespoke silver-plated, what appears to be the voice pipe (Voice pipes, the maritime term, served to transmit reports from lookout positions aloft to the deck, and from the bridge to the steering position and engine room) of the Royal Oak made into a match holder/paper weight/candle holder mounted onto an Oak plinth from the HMS Royal Oak (HMS Royal Oak was one of five Revenge-class battleships built for the Royal Navy during the First World War. Completed in 1916, the ship first saw combat at the Battle of Jutland as part of the Grand Fleet. In peacetime, she served in the Atlantic, Home and Mediterranean fleets, more than once coming under accidental attack. Royal Oak drew worldwide attention in 1928 when her senior officers were controversially court-martialled, an event that brought considerable embarrassment to what was then the world's largest navy. Attempts to modernise Royal Oak throughout her 25-year career could not fix her fundamental lack of speed and, by the start of the Second World War, she was no longer suitable for front-line duty. On 14 October 1939, Royal Oak was anchored at Scapa Flow in Orkney, Scotland, when she was torpedoed by the German submarine U-47. The wreck of Royal Oak, a designated war grave, lies almost upside down in 100 feet (30 m) of water with her hull 16 feet (4.9 m) beneath the surface. In an annual ceremony marking the loss of the ship, Royal Navy divers place a White Ensign underwater at her stern. Measuring; 6 ¾ “in height and 6 ½ “wide. The body of the piece is engraved ‘FROM HMS ROYAL OAK’. The paperback book, in as new condition, named; Last Dawn – The Royal Oak Tragedy at Scapa Flow by David Turner details the history of the ship with diagrams and in-depth knowledge of its history and sinking (155 illustrated pages). The price for this bespoke piece and book on its history includes UK delivery. 22146. (Facing office)

Royal Armouries Cased 14th Century Arming Sword. 22165. - 22165
This is a replica of Royal Armouries IX.2141, a 14th Century arming sword which is currently out of stock on their website. This type of sword could have been carried at the beginning of the Hundred Years War, and this particular example features several distinctive features. The subtly shaped crossguard curves towards the blade, tapering and then swelling at the terminals, and the distinctive pommel has very particular angles and facets. The hilt sits very comfortably in the hand. The broad leaf-like straight blade is of a flattened-diamond cross-section, double-edged, with a narrow fuller to reduce mass. The width swells slightly where it meets the hilt and the gracefully curved edges finish in an acute thrusting tip. The sword is quite light for the size but has a lot of blade presence and power in the hand, being very well suited to give impressive cuts and thrusts. This replica is crafted with a hand forged blade by an experienced, skilled blacksmith, using modern 1080 high carbon steel that is fully tempered and is distally tapered for proper weight distribution. Measuring; Blade length; 85 ¼ cm and 99 ½ cm overall. In very good condition with very light age-related staining which adds to the patina. The baize lined case has ‘The Royal Armouries Museum’ marked to the lid. The box has minor storage marks, as shown in the images. The price for this now scarce piece includes UK delivery. 22165.
