INFORMATION FOR EXPORT AGENTS (AND THEIR CLIENTS) Greg Morley-Smith ([email protected], telephone: +44 (0)1306 628067) is responsible for controlling Holt’s imports and exports. Lots marked * or ** are imported items and must be exported under Customs Procedure Code 3153000. In order for buyers to be refunded import VAT and VAT on the buyer’s premium (and not to be charged Customs duty) the following practice must please be followed: The import entry number (which will be supplied by Mr Morley-Smith) has to be quoted on the Export Declaration. Further, the Declaration must show Holt’s Auctioneers Ltd as the exporter and Holt’s VAT number (731841346000). If the goods require an Export Licence, then Holt’s own Open General Export Licence (copy available on request) must be used. Exports have to take place within 30 days of payment – if this is not possible please contact Mr Morley-Smith who will apply to HMRC for an extension of time (up to 2 years from the date of import). Finally, Holt’s goods must be declared separately if they are being shipped with goods from other suppliers. If an agent/buyer does not wish to export under Holt’s Licence and VAT number then no VAT will be refunded and the agent/buyer will be responsible for the duty. In this instance, Holt’s goods do not have to be declared separately. All non-imported items can be exported under Customs Procedure Code CPC10000001, but again, in order for the VAT on the buyer’s premium to be refunded, Holt’s VAT number and Open Licence must be used and the goods must be declared separately if they are being shipped with goods from other suppliers. Our research, together with the kindness of the makers in allowing us access to their records, enables us to provide the following information which shows the original or previous owners of certain Lots, in addition to those directly associated with them.

The first of these, an F.E.2b flew from Mousehold Heath in 1915 and reached a top speed of 60mph. Boulton & Paul also built many Sopwith Camels (28 per week at the height of production) as well as the major framework of the R.101 airship. The aviation arm of the company was sold in the 1930s and the Norwich site continued until the late 1980s when it closed.

211 SMALL ARMS SCHOOL CORPS

The Small Arms School Corps (SASC) is a specialist unit in the British Army. They are responsible for overseeing training with Infantry weapon systems for all three services in the Armed Forces and the MOD Police. They are approximately one hundred and fifty in strength including reserves. Soldiers who wish to join the SASC have to be a serving soldier with Skill at Arms qualifications. Transfer into the Corps comprises of a six month selection process and demands a specialist level of instructional ability. The lowest Corps rank is Sergeant, which is attained immediately on completion of selection and a career in the Corps provides the opportunity for promotion to Lt Col. All Officers in the SASC are commissioned from the ranks. The SASC can trace its history back to the introduction of the new Minie rifle which was on issue to the British Army. The Officers responsible for the Introduction of the Minie were the Marques of Anglesey, the Master- General of the Ordnance until 1850 and Lord Hardinge. An Officer of distinction, Lord Hardinge was announced as the Master-General of the Ordnance on the fifth of March 1852. Hardinge understood the need for a Rifle to be issued to all ranks of the Infantry and not just specialist units. The new rifle posed its own set of problems, in particular how best to train with it. In 1853 Lord Hardinge obtained authority to set up an establishment to study the scientific use of the rifle, to evolve doctrine and develop a uniform system of Instruction to be passed on to soldiers in the ranks. The authority was granted by the Military Secretary, who, on the Twenty third of March 1853, directed that a sum of a £1000 should be included in the Army estimates for such a purpose. From this the establishment for the Instruction of musketry was formed and it was named the ‘School of Musketry’ and would reside in the Cinque port of Hythe. On the sixth of June 1853 Colonel G.C Hay Commanding Officer of the 19th Regiment of Foot assumed command of the School of Musketry, taking with him Colour Sergeant John McKay, also of the 19th Regiment of Foot, who assumed the position of Staff Sergeant first class. The School continued to deliver Skill at Arms training under the guise of the School of Musketry until 1919 where upon it was renamed the Small Arms School and changing in 1926 to become the Hythe Wing. During this time a Machine Gun School was raised, and in October 1915 formed up in Grantham. In 1926 the Machine Gun School was absorbed into the Small Arms School and relocated to Netheravon. Hythe Wing continued until 1950 when it changed once again and became the Small Arms Wing of the School of Infantry. Within this time the Corps of Instructors, which was the collective name of those assigned to Hythe, changed name and became the Small Arms School Corps, the name it holds today. In 1969 the Corps left Hythe after a one hundred and sixteen year affiliation to the town. The Corps relocated to Warminster where its Headquarters resides today, although the main concentration of SASC personnel is located at the Infantry Battle School, Brecon, the modern day equivalent of the School of Musketry. Members of the Small Arms School Corps are deployed worldwide in support of the British Army, continuing to fulfil their mission ‘To deliver marksmanship standards, provide instructional expertise and manage lethal risk to guarantee operational effectiveness.’ The Infantry and Small Arms School Corps Weapons Collection is open free to the public, (by appointment only) Tuesday to Thursday, 9am – 4:30pm and displays a comprehensive collection of small arms tracing their development from the 16th Century to the present day. Exhibits include pistols, sub-machine guns, rifles, light, medium machine guns, grenade launchers, light and medium mortars and anti-armour weapons. The collection also contains a fine reference library of specialist books and documents covering small arms trials from 1853 to 1939. A number of items, now surplus to the requirements of the museum, feature in the Morning session of this sale and are marked ‘Ex Small Arms School Corps Weapons Collection’ in the catalogue.

The British Association for Shooting & Conservation The Gunmakers Company Charitable Trust

Trustees: D C A Izod JP (Chairman), J Browning, R D A Burge, N J Holt D Keith Neal, R M Mitchell, C J R Purdey, J W Slough, G M Yanneghas, R Wilkin Secretary: Col W J Chesshyre

The Gunmakers Company Charitable Trust has been established in order to provide financial support for the development of craft skills and the new technology associated with the gunmaking trade. We believe that by helping aspiring entrants, and others associated with the trade, we will be able to play an important role in maintaining the reputation for excellence which British gunmaking enjoys worldwide. In addition we will have a more effective way of supporting welfare causes associated with the gun trade, the City of London and where the Gunmakers Comany is situated.

The Charitable Trust was founded in 2003. It has been strongly supported by the Liverymen of the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers and those people interested in the trade. Its first bursary was awarded in 2007 to a trainee gunmaker working for Watson Bros., of London. A second bursary, this time to a Birmingham gunmaker, is likely to be made in early 2009.

The Charitable Trust has also provided a range of smaller grants for training, travel and education for those working in gunmaking and related trades, including support for education for conservators working in arms, armour and other metals at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Glasgow Museum. In addition, it has made grants to people connected with the gun trade who have fallen on difficult times and to support the charitable activities of the City of London and the Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The Charitable Trust is now in a position to seek further applications from members of the gun trade. As we enter these more difficult economic times, we feel that the Trust’s role will assume ever greater importance in maintaining the quality and skills within British gunmaking.

We very much hope that you will feel able to help us and any of the trustees will be glad to answer any questions that you may have about our proposals and recognition of your support.
