447* An 1886/1887 Starley & Sutton `Special Rover` Safety Bicycle. This sprung framed machine, numbered ‘69’, is based on the James
K Starley patent number 12,586 of October 1886, and in all likelihood was manufactured in late 1886 or early 1887, it carries the Starley &
Sutton Badge, this early Rover bicycle has a 30-inch rear wheel and a 32-inch steering wheel, both with ¾-inch crescent rims and grey tyring.
Drive is by 6-inch slotted cranks and a Brampton type inch-pitch block chain to a fixed rear sprocket, the chain-wheel and spindle held in two
adjustable bearing races. There are two significant and unusual features to the design. The first is that the spoon brake acts on the rear wheel
utilising a gap formed by parting the rear mudguard, the spoon activated by a right-hand lever on the handlebars and two fulcrums. The other
special and unusual feature is in the presence of the highly visual sprung loaded front forks, using a double turn spring of stout proportions,
one side held firmly in front of the headstock and the other held in a tubular grip designed to move with the motion of the forks. Other features
include: foot resting pegs, rear mounting step, chain-guard, correct period pedals, original handlebar grips and leather saddle. A J. Lucas & Sonmanufactured ‘Captain’ hub lamp is fitted as was common at this time, to a right-hand axle extension. A period bell is also fitted. In keeping
with conservation practice, the writer judges that this machine has been repaired and renovated rather than restored. Replicated parts such as
mudguards and brake work can be clearly identified. This lot comes complete with a copy of: ‘A History of Rover Cycles’ by John Pinkerton &
Derek Roberts, photographs of the bicycle as found, a drawing of this bicycle showing the location of all of its numbers, specification details,
and a copy-photograph of the original owner
This particular model as shown in the George Moore engraving was promoted as being ridden by Viscount Bury, who at the time was President of the National
Cyclists Union. It is believed that this historic ‘Special Rover’ is unique today, and has not only a secure place in the history of British bicycle manufacture, but
in the history of James Starley in particular, and his various inspired designs, his partner Sutton unfortunately having been killed in a trap accident in 1886. James
Starley with his Rover was seen as producing the first practical safety bicycle, then the Holy Grail of the Cycle Industry; indeed, the bicycle was easy to mount
and ride, having small wheels and chain drive to the rear wheel, key design steps that were instantly copied by others, and that allowed for a resurgence in the
industry. ‘The Rover has set the Fashion to the World’, was the slogan used in Rover advertising for a long time afterwards. This bicycle was found in the basement
of a building that was due to be demolished in 2002. It was a little distressed but surprisingly complete except for mudguards, chain-cover and brake-work, after
lying undisturbed, it is believed, since the 1890s. Indeed, the accompanying photograph shows the original owner with this machine in 1887 or 1888. When a
detailed inspection of the bicycle was carried out by Rover expert and restorer Tony Huntington in 2005, the machine was found to carry the machine number
69 in 20 different places, making this is one of the earliest known Rovers built, possibly second only in age to the 1885 Rover exhibited until recently by the
Science Museum, South Kensington. The earliest Rovers possessed 36-inch front wheels because Starley correctly believed that the larger wheel cushioned
road-generated shock. While other manufacturers generally opted for a smaller front wheel, Starley continued producing his Rational Rover with a 36-inch front
wheel similar to the early race and record breaking Rovers until circa 1891. This ‘Sprung Frame Special’ should be seen as an early experiment by Starley to find
another way for a more comfortable ride, predating the introduction of the pneumatic tyres of Dunlop, Michelin & others, which would change the comfort and
well-being of all riders for ever.

and was awarded his MBE for his part in “The Great Escape”. MBE London Gazette 10 December 1946 ‘This Officer completed eight operational sorties as an
observer over a period extending from April 1940 till 26th June, 1940. On that date his aircraft was shot down during an attack on the Kiel Canal and Squadron
Leader Reavell-Carter was taken prisoner. From January 1941 until March 1942, he was engaged in the construction of four escape tunnels all of which were
discovered by the Germans before they could be used. In June 1943, Squadron Leader Reavell-Carter thought of a method of escape from the camp. He himself
was too large to take advantage of this scheme, but it was used by two other prisoners of war. This Officer was one of a large party which escaped by a tunnel
from Sagan camp in March 1944. A member of his section was noticed by a sentry and Squadron Leader Reavell-Carter was forced to disclose his position in
order to prevent the guard from shooting. He served 21 days detention for his attempt (THE COOLER). During most of his period of captivity, Squadron Leader
Reavell-Carter obtained many escape aids from the Germans and organised a foraging party. He was liberated near Lubeck in May 1945.’

against three successive counter-attacks. On the 4th Nov he was wounded badly for the third time by
crossing very exposed ground under close range enemy fire to restore the situation on a point of his

Legion of Honour, dated 6 May 1952.
Thorkild Hansen was born in Copenhagen in January 1900 and was working in France at the time of the outbreak of hostilities. Accompanying research and
comparison of the below listed recommendations would seem to suggest that he first came into contact with his future wife - then Mrs. Marguerite Holst - in
Marseilles as early as 1940, and that his subsequent wartime career followed a very similar course, namely employment by S.O.E. and M.I. 9 for the smoothrunning of escape lines from France to Spain Mrs. Marguerite Holst (afterwards Mrs. Hansen) was English by birth (nee Addy), known to her friends as “Madge”
and married her first husband pre-war. Having already witnessed the events of the Spanish Civil War due to his work for the International Refugee Commission,
she quickly found herself embroiled in the clandestine world of S.O.E. operations after they made their way to Marseilles in 1940 and he was recruited into
S.O.E. by a fellow Scandinavian for work in the ‘DF’ escape section: M. R. D. Foot’s S.O.E. in France describes him as a ‘quaker shipbroker’ who ‘behind his
ponderous appearance kept a swift intellect, a painstaking character, and a strong dislike of the nazis.’ For her own part, as detailed in the following
recommendation for her O.B.E., Mrs. Holst played a vital role in the setting up of the famous “Garrow-Pat O’Leary” escape line, largely under the auspices of
M.I. 9. Marrying Thorkild Hansen soon after the War, on the annulment of her first marriage, she died in February 1970.

M.M. London Gazette 21.9.1916. 6854 Private J.
Gardner served during the Great War with the 7th
Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment from
17.7.1915, the 7th Battalion served with the 56th
Brigade, 19th Western Division on the first day of
the Battle of the Somme, 1st July 1916 located
at Albert, a copied account from the War Diaries
of the Battalion is included in the lot and records.
‘On 1st July 1916, the 7th Battalion, East
Lancashire Regiment in the Intermediate Line
until 7.30am - Zero Hour - when in accordance
with instructions it moved forward to the Uzna
Trench line replacing part of the 8th Division that
had attacked hostile trenches at 7.30am.
Operations having progressed successfully, this
Brigade was not required to attack but remained
in readiness in the vicinity of Uzna-Tara until 9pm
when it returned to bivouacs in the railways
cutting at Albert. The next day, the Battalion
remained in the Railway Cutting all day with the
exception of two companies ‘C’ and ‘D’ and two
sections of Regimental Bombers who proceeded
to Becourt Wood and assisted in the attack at La
Boiselle in conjunction with 101st Brigade.
Captain House was in supreme command, with
Lieutenant Lowe in command of D Compnay, and
Lieutenant Edwards in charge of the Regimental
Bombers. The party made a bombing attack on
Heligoland Redoubt in conjunction with the main
attack. Operations were very successfully carried
out with few casualties. The party was
congratulated by the Brigadier of 101st Brigade
Lot 812
on its excellent work. Later the same day, 2nd
July, at 5pm, ‘B’ Company was detailed to
proceed to Uzna Tara line to act as a carrying
party. On the 3rd July the Battalion, together with
the remainder of the Brigade moved at 3am to
the Unzna Tara Line and remained in this position
in readiness to be called up all day. ‘C’, ‘D’, and
‘B’ Companies and two sections of Regimental
Bombers rejoined the Battalion. 4th July 1916
saw the battalion still in the Uzna Tara line, and
then moved into newly captured trenches at La
Boiselle relieving the 7th Battalion, Royal
Lancaster Regiment . On 5th July, the Battalion
was ordered to attack the German front line by
bombing up communication trenches. The 57th
Brigade operated on the left, the 23rd Division on
the right , and attack was preceded by a heavy
bombardment of one hours duration. Operations
commenced at 2pm. The Battalion gained its
objective on the left, but owing to the right being
held up by heavy machine gun fire, it had to fall
back to its original line. Casualties were as
follows: four officers killed, six wounded, and 31
other ranks killed, and 49 wounded. The next day,
6th July, the Battalion continued the attack with
the same objective as before, but with the
addition that it was ordered to get in touch with
the 58th Brigade on its right who had relieved the
69th Brigade of the 23rd Division. This was to be
carried out through the line. It was essential that
this line should be secured in order that the
contemplated general advance could be
successfully commenced the next day.
Operations commenced at nightfall and the
objective was gained by 6am on 7th July 1916
after severe fighting. The Battalion War Diary for
9th September 1916 records that on an
inspection by the Corps Commander, medal
ribbons were presented to five men, including
Private J. Gardner by the Corps Commander. On
extensive research confirms that Gardner most
likely was awarded his Military Medal for his
bravery in the operations at Ovillers between 1st
to 6th July 1916, the award being published in the
London Gazette for 21st September 1916m with
this gazette containing awards for the Battle of
the Somme in July 1916. Gardner was later
transferred to the Military Foot Police.

‘Handarbeit’ with German eagle beneathm
8cm high x 22cm wide x 12cm deep
L2 was the second rigid airship built for the
Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy) by
Luftschiffbau Zeppelin at Friedrichshafen. On the 17
October 1913 L2 was scheduled for a test flight at
Johannisthal (an airfield south east of Berlin),
however due to engine problems this was delayed
and with the intensity of the morning sun the
hydrogen contained in the airship’s gas bags heated
to a degree which caused them to expand and

shot down during a dog-fight with Air
Commodore Pete Brothers CBE, DSO, DFC
& Bar, the vest was then found gathering
dust in Kent attic some years later, the
yellow vest model type 10-30 with printed
label stating ‘Great: Schwimmeste / Bauart:

The Schwimmweste was featured in an article in
The Armourer July / August 2006 edition
(magazine included with the lot). Lieutenant
Franz Achleitner was a Luftwaffe Me109 pilot
serving with 9/JG3 he achieved five kills,
shooting down two Spitfires, two Blenheims and
a Hurricane between May and August 1940. Then
on 24 August 1940, with his own aircraft “Yellow
5” out of action he borrowed “Yellow 8” for a
mission what was to be his last. At approximately
4pm, over the Thames estuary, the squadron
were bounced by Hurricanes of 32 RAF
Squadron. The article then goes on to state, in a
typical swirling dog fight Achleitner was almost
certainly shot down by Pilot Officer Pete
Brothers, who recorded Achleitner’s name in his
logbook although further information suggests he
may have collided with a Hurricane flown by Pilot
Officer Gillman who was killed following a
collision with a Bf109 in the same area at the
same time. Achleitner was forced to bail out of
his fighter high over the estuary, injuring himself
against the control column as he exited landing
north of the Reculver near Hearne Bay and found
by a motor boat manned by three men wounded
but alive, he survived the war in a Canadian POW
camp and passed away in Salzburg, Austria in
1991. The vest was discovered in a Kent attic
some years later.

Jessie Miller was a pioneering Australian aviator who, with Bill Lancaster in his

England-to-Australia flight. Three years after Miller’s pioneering flight, the first
solo England - Australia flight by a woman was made by Amy Johnson.

Inspired by watching Andre-Jacques Garnerin’s
first parachute jump in England in 1802, artist and
amateur scientist Robert Cocking decided to
develop an improved cone-shape parachute
design, after reading Sir George Cayley’s On
Aerial Navigation. After approaching the owners
of the Royal Nassau balloon, Charles Green and
Edward Spencer, they agreed to suspend
Cocking’s parachute below the balloon and
attempted to reach a height of 8000 feet over
Greenwich. However owing to the weight of both
balloon and parachute the ascent only reached
5000 feet, when Cocking released the parachute,
which due to miscalculations in the weight of the
parachute, resulted in too quick a descent, the
parachute turning inside out and breaking up a
few hundred feet above ground. Cocking was
instantly killed and his body found in a field in
Lee.

to destroy a further seven enemy armoured
vehicles, single handedly repelling the attack and
bringing his personal tally to thirteen tanks within
24 hours. On 27 September the Russians were

approximately 8.5 x 11.5cm and similar), a total of 160 pp., inner hinges broken and contents
partly loose, original quarter linen over boards, heavily rubbed and slightly frayed, 8vo
Lieutenant Schramm was serving in the army group of General Remus von Woyrsch on Germany’s eastern
front. Schramm’s substantial entries are in a difficult but consistent hand. He records life in the battery, the
comings and goings of his fellow officers, and their deaths. He has a technical mentality and shows much
interest in artillery pieces, sighting instruments, submarines and aeroplanes, which could be of great help
to artillery in locating the enemy. His diary also reflects the wider developments of the war. He reports of
the death of Graf Zeppelin, worries that America may declare war, and on 15 March records ‘Revolution in
St. Petersburg’. On 14 May 1917 Schramm was transferred to the military airfield at Bialystok. A scattering
of later comments added in 1919. The mostly good quality photographs include shots of Warsaw, Ivangorod
(Deblin), Baranowicze, Brest-Litovsk, and Laon in France. There are also good photographs of artillery
emplacements and aircraft, and army units on parade for inspection by General von Woyrsch and Austrian
General Count von Kirchbach, as well as personal photographs.

A remarkable album recently discovered by descendents of the photographer. Though dated May 1945,
these photographs would seem to pre-date the official signing of the first instrument of surrender at
Caserta near Naples on 29 April 1945. This surrender in ‘woods near Florence’ would seem to pre-date
this historic first signing and the photographs are potentially the only photographic record of this first
instrument of German field surrender.

HEINZ WOLFGANG SCHNAUFER (1922-1950)
1001* Schnaufer (Heinz Wolfgang, 1922-1950). The port tail fin from Schnaufer’s favourite Messerschmitt Bf110G-4,
“G9+EF”, c.1944-45, made of aluminium and painted with 121 ‘kill’ icons, consisting of small roundels and four-engined
British bombers with the date of each victory painted below, a large hakenkreuz (swastika) painted in black and white
beneath, small data plate ‘Sach Nr 110 310 H / Werk Nr 20032 3’, bullet holes, dents and chipped paintwork, 111 x 78cm
(43.5 x 29.75ins)
Between 1 June 1942 and 7 March 1945 Schnaufer and his crew shot down a confirmed total of 121 British and Commonwealth
bombers by night, and in only 164 operational sorties, making Schnaufer the highest-scoring night fighter ace in the history of aerial
warfare. It is estimated that Schnaufer, nicknamed by the Allied Air Forces as “The Night Ghost of St Trond”, shot down 37 British
bombers while flying the aircraft from which this tail fin was salvaged. It was his favourite aircraft and one which he began flying on
6 July 1944.
On 30 March 1945 this aircraft and a number of Fw 190s were being flown to safety from the advancing enemy troops. It was en
route from Gutersloh to Wunstorf when it was shot down, probably by a chasing Mosquito, crashing in the hills of Westphalia. The
pilot that day, (not Schnaufer), and one crew member was killed and a third badly injured. Bizarrely, Schnaufer, who survived the war
and one of only 27 men awarded the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds, was to die on 15 July 1950 following a
road accident while on a wine-buying trip in Bordeaux. He was just 28.
Provenance: Wolfgang Lohmann, an expert on Luftwaffe aircraft and military-air historian. Over fifty years ago Lohmann discovered
the artefact being used as a patch on a roof in the village of Hillegossen. The owner was a chimneysweep who had salvaged it in the
summer of 1945, selling it to Lohmann around 1962. Now 80 Lohmann has decided the time has come to sell it.
The Imperial War Museum has a tail fin from another Messerschmitt 110 flown by Schnaufer. That port fin of machine 3C+BA does
not come from an aircraft in which Schnaufer scored any victories. The starboard fin of the same machine, with the symbols painted
on Schnaufer’s instructions at the very end of the war, is on display at the Australian War Memorial Museum in Canberra.
Much discussion surrounds these and other Schnaufer tail fins and myth and fact have intertwined to cause great confusion. This
item’s authenticity is beyond dispute and supported by Wim Govaerts, an authority on Schnaufer, who reproduces a wartime
photograph of Schnaufer pointing at this tail fin in his book Nachtspook van Sint-Truiden (2007). The authenticity was further confirmed
to Lohmann directly by Schnaufer’s radio operator Friedrich Rumpelhardt.
For more information about these tail fins and authenticity see Peter Hinchliffe’s book Schnaufer: Ace of Diamonds (Stroud: Tempus,
1999), Appendix A, pp. 284-296.

diamond, locking nut with red arrow pointing right above black arrow and the word ‘Auf’, 24
x 23cm (9.5 x 9ins), together with a German Iron Cross First Class found in the cockpit of
Hess’s crashed Messerschmitt, somewhat blackened and damaged, a Mercedes Benz
circular enamelled metal badge removed from one of the twin-engines of Hess’s plane (with
a letter of provenance from J.M.F. White, a research engineer at Farnborough from whom

1955, referring amongst other things to her husband and that the only people allowed to
write to Hess are herself, her son, mother, brother and sister, and that they are only allowed
to send something for him to smoke (but he doesn’t smoke), soap and underwear (which he
won’t accept as he stubbornly insists that since they’ve locked him up they also have to
clothe him, and that he is so extreme in this that many don’t understand him and think he
must be crazy’), a typed statement signed from Ilse Hess in German and titled ‘A Request
to the Friends of England-Nuremberg-Spandau’, trying to promote her book, a real photo
postcard of Hess by Hoffmann and another pre-war photo card of Hess, a pamphlet by Hess
titled ‘Germany in Peace: A Soldier’s Message’, printed for private circulation, Berlin, n.d.,

headline concerning Hess’s aircraft crash and capture in Scotland, ‘The Deputy-Fuehrer Gives
Himself Up’, plus a quantity of other magazines, photocopies and related information
concerning Hess plus 4 modern biographies including one paperback
Hess’s reasons for flying to Scotland in this bizarre story have never been fully explained, but it seems he was attempting to reach the Duke
of Hamilton, who he believed had sufficient political clout to help him negotiate peace with the United Kingdom.
The unique set of X-ray negatives were acquired by Michael Forman in 1972 from Mrs K. Foley, widow of Colonel Francis Edward Foley, CMG, Senior Officer in
charge of Hess at the time. Included with the lot is a letter from Mrs Foley to Michael Forman relating to the X-rays and sent in 1972 and a letter from 1973
concerning the X-rays by Ilford and confirming that the X-rays are on Ilford film and must date between 1939 and 1943. In the book ‘The Case of Rudolf Hess’,
edited by J.R. Rees, 1947, Hess’s X-rays are referred to on page 60: ‘On the 28th July 1941 his leg was X-rayed at the request of the surgical specialist. Hess
had heard that X-rays rendered one sexually sterile, and he carefully used the lid of the steriliser to cover his genitalia during exposures’. A copy of this book is
included with the lot. Frank Foley was himself a notable figure. He worked for MI6 as a British spy but helped some 10,000 Jews escape from concentration
camps. His biography by Michael Smith was published in 1999: see following lot.

Smith, ‘Foley: The Spy Who Saved 10,000 Jews’, 1st edition, 1999, original cloth in dust jacket, 8vo
Major Francis Edward Foley C.M.G. was a native of Somerset, educated in France. He served in the First World War with the
Hertfordshire Regiment and the 2/6th North Staffordshire Regiment with the rank of Captain. He was mentioned in despatches in
1918 and was on the General Staff (Intelligence) with GHW, the Rhine Army.
From 1920 to 1939 he was HBM passport control officer for Germany and played a major role in helping people who were being persecuted
by the Nazis. In 1939 and 1940 he was HBM Passport Control in Norway and when that country was invaded by the Germans he was
attached to CinC Norwegian forces in the field and managed to escape to England. He was mentioned in despatches for his Norwegian
service. He was commissioned in 1940 and in 1941 was awarded the CMG and also the Norwegian Knights Cross of the Order of St. Olav.
Major Foley, MI6 agent, was put in charge of Rudolf Hess after his capture in Scotland in May 1941 where he looked after him for the
whole time he was in Britain and became his mentor. His private opinion of Hess was that he was demonstrably insane and should
never have been brought to trial. The X-rays of Hess’s broken thigh are included with the Hess archive in the previous lot.
Foley was inscribed in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund for his brilliant devotion to humanity and helped with the escape
of 10,000 Jews from Germany and Norway. There have been many public tributes to Foley in public art including in 2004 a remembrance
plaque dedicated to him at the entrance to Stourbridge's Mary Stevens Park. The following year volunteers from Highbridge, Foley's
birthplace, raised money to erect their own tribute. In 2010 Foley was posthumously named a British Hero of the Holocaust.

Conditions of Sale and Business
1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or
is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to
transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer
considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle
it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine
the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two
or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice.
(b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into
an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some
of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other
party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction
Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are
bought bona fide on joint account.
3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the
Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of
19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the
premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s
Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and
will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price
will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making
any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the
fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller
commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and
assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.
4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and
permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the
conclusion of the auction the total sum due.
(b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale
the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after
such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion
be put up again and resold immediately.
(c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased
no later than five working days after the auction day.
(d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a
buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but
otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the
Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's
cheque has been cleared.
5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to
clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer
as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller
to exercise one or other of the following rights:
(i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults
and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to
the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after
deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall
belong to the seller.
(ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract.
(b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or
lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the
Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the
buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day.
(c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has
paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.
6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the
Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot
on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on
which a reserve has been placed.
(b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller
accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the
lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission
not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot.
(c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification
the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private
treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller
the normal selling commission and special expenses.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue,
brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution,
genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling
price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should
exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the
Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness
of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or
the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are
hereby excluded.
8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen
days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot
notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within
fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the
Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and
satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the
catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be
rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate
forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive.
(b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid
to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the
buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out
by the Auctioneer.
9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance
with 4(d) hereof.
10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be
delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will
be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by
the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of
books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion,
have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability
of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller,
in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the
Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that
he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.
11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's
premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of
fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.
The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the
case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior
to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in
their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods.
(b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft,
or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s
written instructions.
12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty
days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received
the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will
remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the
receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be
deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque
delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer
exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller
hereunder lapses.
13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell
any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's
middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with
Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot
or lots.
14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation
and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if
incorporated herein.
15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
English Law.
