C1908-1911 Transit Cased Winchester USA Model 1898, 1901 Patent 10 Gauge Antique Obsolete Calibre Breech Loading Black Powder Blank Firing Signal Cannon ‘NOT FOR BALL’ Wheeled Carriage With Copies Of Articles Regarding Development & Use Of These Cannon. - 18681
This is a very good original Winchester 1901 Patent 10 Gauge Black Powder Signal Cannon. The 10 gauge, Winchester Breech Loading Signal Cannon was designed and patented by Charles H. Griffith for the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1901. The cannon were first offered for sale in the March 1903 Winchester Catalogue. These cannon emitted loud noise and smoke & were used to start yacht races. A copy of articles on these cannon detailing their development, specifications and use accompanies the cannon. The steel cannon barrel of our example is 12” long and has the post 1908 thicker muzzle barrel diameter of 1 ¼” which was introduced to replace the earlier, rarer 1” muzzle diameter which were often damaged by being mishandled in transit when users picked up the cannon by the rear of the carriage causing muzzles often to make contact with the floor. Its smooth bore has staining & residue consistent with age & use. The metal work of the carriage has even patina. The barrel and trunnion have matching numbers ‘915D’. The breach mechanism with hinged hatch and hammer mechanism is in working order and it has draw cord with wood toggle attached. These cannon are for blank cartridges only and “NOT FOR BALL” (this message is faintly stamped on the barrel). The barrel has the Winchester manufacturer detail and calibre (illustrated). The cast iron wheeled carriage has correct cast markings “W. R. A. Co, Trade Mark, Registered in U. S. A.”. The cannon comes with its original wood transit case with lid. The wood is clean and undamaged. The wood has ‘Winchester Trade Mark’ stencilled in red on 4 sides and ‘ One Breech Loading Cannon’ stencilled in black on 2 sides. The price includes UK delivery. NB As an antique, obsolete calibre black powder signal cannon no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 18681

Rare, Mint, British, WW1, Cup, No. 23 Rifle Grenade, No.1. Mark 1. Sn - 21608:8
This is a rare, near mint British WW1 era Cup, No. 23 Rifle Grenade, No.1. Mark 1 attachment for a SMLE rifle to launch the rodded number 23 and 36 Mills hand grenades. This simple pressed steel attachment was introduced in 1916 and held the number 23 grenade with a short rod, which replaced the earlier specialised rodded grenades. The attachment was held to the rifle by attaching the bayonet through a slot in the bottom of the holder and fixing the bayonet to the rifle. This attachment was replaced by the sturdier Burns 2 ½ inch discharger in 1917 which had an adjustable vent on it to vary the range and replaced the rod with a flat screw on base which stopped severe bore wear and bulged barrels with the rodded grenades. See pages 73-74 in ‘GRENADE’ British & Commonwealth Hand & Rifle Grenades by Rick Landers. The price for this rare accessory includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert grenade discharger in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. N.B.

German military and civil authorities implemented a diverse array of Long Service Awards to recognise individuals for their years of dedicated service. These awards were utilised across various branches of the German military, as well as in civil and political sectors such as the police, customs service, and the National Labor Service (RAD).

These medals were typically displayed on uniforms either as ribbons or medal bars, with the option to wear up to two Long Service Awards simultaneously. In most instances, an accompanying device attached to the ribbon bar indicated the nature of the service for which the award was bestowed. Sometimes, the medals themselves featured devices on their ribbons, either as pinned-on metal emblems or through hand or machine embroidery directly applied to the ribbon. While certain German Long Service Awards were widely distributed, others were produced and awarded in limited quantities. In good condition.

**LARGE**19th Century Spanish Navaja Folding Fighting / Utility Lock Knife With Sharp Scimitar Form Blade Marked With Stylised Eagle Trademark & Polished Horn Scales. Sn 22162:1 - 22162:1
The Navaja is a traditional Spanish folding-blade fighting and utility knife. One of the oldest folding knife patterns still in production, the first true Navajas originated in the Andalusian region of southern Spain. In Spain, the term navaja is often used to generally describe all folding-blade knives. The etymology of the word navaja is derived from the Latin novacula, meaning razor, and the Andalusian knife known as the navaja is thought to have derived from the navaja de afeitar, or straight razor used for shaving. Like the straight razor, the navaja's blade folds into the handle when not in use. In Spain the navaja epitomized the concept of a defensive knife to be carried at all times on the person. The design is thought to have been first adopted by the working classes - mule drivers, teamsters, artisans, and sailors as well as by the majos, the "gentlemen of the lower class" of Andalusia. Its association with barateros, pícaros, jácaros and rufos (gamblers, rogues, ruffians, and thugs) comes from its frequent use as a weapon of the underworld, where it was often used to enforce the collection of gambling debts or to rob innocent victims. This example has the form and characteristics of those made in the 19th Century and is large. The heavy razor sharp, steel blade in scimitar form is 7” in length, 1 ¼” broad at its widest and the spine is 2mm thick. The blade has staining consistent with age and one side has a stylised stamped Eagle Trademark above faint unreadable maker or retailer mark. The knife measures 15 ½” overall length when open. The knife has Polished Horn scales. The bolsters are German silver. Behind the upper bolsters is a release lever which operates the blade locking catch and works as it should. The grip frame is steel. The price for this antique fighting / utility knife includes UK delivery. Sn 22162:1 (drawers office)
