It always amazes me that when the London Arms Fair time comes around so many high quality items come out of safes, cupboards and lofts, out of private collections to see the light of day and be on display at the fair. Record prices achieved for items of arms and armour selling at auction in the last six months proves yet again that exhibitors at the Cannon and artillery for hire for fi lm industry, TV, theatre, concerts and gun salutes. fair are providing one of the best forms of investment available at the present time. Confidence in banks and building societies John Slough of London have been in the business of restoration and conservation of cannon and artillery of all periods for over 40 years. is at an all time low and there are few attractive alternatives to collecting items of such craftsmanship and quality as we have to e fi lm industry’s increasing need for blank fi ring big guns with experienced armourers and fi ring team means we now have a dedicated stock of offer, not to mention the joy of owning them. period cannon and artillery ready for hire as well as the ability to produce any custom made piece for individual requirements. This April saw the introduction of a new and exciting feature at the fair. On the second day we staged the first ever exhibitors’ auction to be held at a London fair. This type of auction is very popular at many American gun shows. 9 Pdr RML Field gun 18 pdr QF Field gun Complete on period fi eld carriage Complete on its original fi eld carriage There is no entry fee, the auctioneer’s commission is only 10% and most radically of all, there is no buyer’s premium. Members of the public wishing to put items into the sale may do so through any one of the current exhibitors. Lots may be entered into the sale from early September and will be on view at the fair in a designated area. The sale commences at 12 midday on Saturday. Over the years I have been approached by collectors and exhibitors to hold such an auction at the fair. This in no way reflects on the existing auction houses as there is no doubt that they have an essential role to play in our business bringing to the market items of interest and importance from great collections from around the world. However, I believe that there should be an opportunity for items to be sold by exhibitors at auction at no extra cost to the purchaser. We are able to do this by cutting out many of the overheads and extra costs that have arisen over the years for the auction houses such as the huge cost of premises in London, the production of beautiful, detailed sale catalogues distributed worldwide. They provide telephone bidding and now also internet bidding all of which has to be staffed and paid for and none 200 muzzle loading cannon and mortars 24 pdr reproduction cast iron Scottish carronades of it comes cheap. Used for the Battle Proms concerts Complete on period carriage At our auction a list is produced in advance, sale entries are displayed at the fair in a designated area. People wishing to bid should register at the admission desk and receive a Bidder’s number. There will be no telephone or internet bidding and most importantly no Buyer’s premium. It is in fact a good old fashioned sale where you view the lots, bid for them, pay only the hammer price and clear the lots all on the same day! I myself have some experience in this field having once worked for the last auction rooms in the City of London, B. Norman & Son of Little Britain, EC1. Sadly it closed in 1967 having been in the same family since 1824, thus marking the end of an era. I do hope you all enjoy, not only the fair, but also the auction where you can make sound investments for the future and enjoy some wonderful examples of outstanding craftsmanship. ‘Here’s to the good life’ John Slough of London, Master Gunmaker, e Old Forge, Peterchurch, Hereford HR2 0SD John Slough 6 THE LONDON ANTIQUETel: ARMS 07775 FAIR 643GUIDE 762 Email: [email protected] www.artilleryhire.com THE LONDON ANTIQUE ARMS FAIR GUIDE 7 Chairman AN HISTORIC GERMAN (SAXON) WHEEL-LOCK CARBINE, DRESDEN, dated 1589 Provenance: From the former Electoral Armouries in Dresden, from a series of one hundred carried by the Trabantenleibgarde of Christian I, Prince Elector of Saxony (R.1586-91).

  • Colonel John Singleton Mosby & the 43
    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Eric W. Buckland, Colonel John Singleton Mosby | November 2013 Colonel John Singleton Mosby & the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry – “Mosby’s Rangers” By Eric W. Buckland, LTC(R), USA "My purpose was to weaken the armies invading Virginia, by harassing their rear... to destroy supply trains, to break up the means of conveying intelligence, and thus isolating an army from its base, as well as its different corps from each other, to confuse their plans by capturing their dispatches, are the objects of partisan war. It is just as legitimate to fight an enemy in the rear as in the front. The only difference is in the danger ..."1 — Col. John S. Mosby, CSA Perhaps no other individual’s name from the War Between the States is more inextricably intertwined with the unit he commanded than John Singleton Mosby. That unit, the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry, was commonly known as Mosby’s Rangers. It was, unquestionably, his command. Certainly, it bore his name, but more importantly, the unit’s inception, expansion, successes and viability up to the final days of the war were a direct result of his operational vision, audacity, self-confidence and stoic endurance. Mosby commenced irregular operations with just nine men loaned to him by Major General James Ewell Brown “JEB” Stuart in early 1863. At that time, Mosby had no rank and was a scout for Stuart. On April 21, 1865, having achieved the rank of Colonel, Mosby would disband rather than surrender his command which contained over 800 men. In 1992, Colonel John Singleton Mosby was a member of the first group of men honored with induction into the United States Army Ranger Hall of Fame.

  • Download the Florida Civil War Heritage Trail
    Florida -CjvjlV&r- Heritage Trail .•""•^ ** V fc till -/foMyfa^^Jtwr^— A Florida Heritage Publication Florida . r li //AA Heritage Trail Fought from 1861 to 1865, the American Civil War was the country's bloodiest conflict. Over 3 million Americans fought in it, and more than 600,000 men, 2 percent of the American population, died in it. The war resulted in the abolition of slavery, ended the concept of state secession, and forever changed the nation. One of the 1 1 states to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy, Florida's role in this momentous struggle is often overlooked. While located far from the major theaters of the war, the state experienced considerable military activity. At one Florida battle alone, over 2,800 Confederate and Union soldiers became casualties. The state supplied some 1 5,000 men to the Confederate armies who fought in nearly all of the major battles or the war. Florida became a significant source of supplies for the Confederacy, providing large amounts of beef, pork, fish, sugar, molasses, and salt. Reflecting the divisive nature of the conflict, several thousand white and black Floridians also served in the Union army and navy. The Civil War brought considerable deprivation and tragedy to Florida. Many of her soldiers fought in distant states, and an estimated 5,000 died with many thousands more maimed and wounded. At home, the Union blockade and runaway inflation meant crippling scarcities of common household goods, clothing, and medicine. Although Florida families carried on with determination, significant portions of the populated areas of the state lay in ruins by the end of the war.

The Colt plant was in full production when the fire broke out and many of the workers were, in accordance with Colt policy, locked inside of their departments. It was only with considerable effort and much luck that there was not a great loss of life amongst the Colt workforce. When firemen arrived on the scene shortly after the first blast of Colt's steam whistle announcing the fire, they found the main Colt production building fully engulfed in flame.

    Museum of the West History Docent Guide 2017 Spanish Exhibit Gallery Exploring the Northern Frontier The Rivera Expedition The “Kingdom and Province of New Mexico” and its northern frontiers was a huge geographical area. This kingdom included all or part of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas. In 1765 New Mexican Governor Tomas Velez Cachupin asked explorer Don Juan Maria Antonio de Rivera to lead an expedition to explore the northern frontier. Governor Cachupin was worried about encroachment by other European powers and wanted to find the legendary Rio del Tizon (Colorado River) and a place to ford it. The Governor was also interested in the legend that was on the other side of the Rio del Tizon River, was Lake Copala, home of an unknown wealthy civilization. Rivera had traveled north before in 1761 and had his own reasons for going that included searching for gold and silver deposits and evidence of native mining activity. Rivera and his men traveled as far north as the present-day City of Durango, Colorado and then returned home to Santa Fe with no news of European intrigue or finding a mysterious civilization. Governor Cachupin, although discouraged, sent Rivera north one more time to reach the Rio del Tizon and report on evidence of this much-rumored civilization. Rivera left Santa Fe in October of 1765 and headed north as far as present-day Delta, Colorado before returning home to Santa Fe. Although unsuccessful in their quest, the expedition had mapped and kept journals of the new lands and people they met.
