The Gary Bates Collection of Swords & Militaria Part II Wednesday 5 December 2012 at 1pm Oxford GARY NORVILE GEORGE BATES

Gary Bates was born in Brandon, Manitoba on the 6th May 1935. As he was the only boy born in Brandon on that day, and it was the date of King George Vs Silver Jubilee, he was given the middle name of George by obviously Anglophile parents. His first sword was a WWII dress sword belonging to a friends father. When he enquired about the price, he was told to go down to the basement and help himself, if you can find it, you can have it.

This fuelled Garys interest in antique weapons, although at first he concentrated on firearms. In the late 60s, however, he discovered swords, and at first he bought every sword he could find but soon his interest focused on British swords. In the early 1970s he paid his first visit to England which coincided with the London Arms Fair.This was a great spur to his interest which was followed up by visits to virtually every London Arms Fair for the next forty years.

Garys first love was Georgian swords, but as it became more and more difficult to find pieces which lived up to his high standards, he began to buy Victorian and even later examples. He concentrated on swords in fine condition, and virtually every sword in his collection can be described as excellent or better. Presentation and regimentally marked swords also figure large in the collection.

Over the years Gary has made many friends amongst both collectors and dealers on both sides of the Atlantic. He has now decided it is time to wind down and give others the chance to enjoy the objects he has had so much pleasure in acquiring and owning.
