General Baron Hugh Halkett, G.C.H., C.B. was born in Musselburgh, Scotland in 1783. He was second son of Major-General F.G. Halkett and brother of Lieutenant General Sir Colin Halkett

From 1798 to 1801, Halkett served in India in the Scottish Brigade, which his father had been instrumental in raising. In 1803, he joined the 2nd Light Infantry Battalion of the newly formed King’s German Legion, which was under the command of his brother Colin. The 2nd Light were involved in the Cathcart’s expeditions to Hanover, Rügen and Copenhagen. During this time he was promoted to Major and his bold initiative on outpost duty won a commendation. From 1808 until 1813 Halkett fought in the Peninsular War, except in 1809 when he took part in the Walcheren Expedition. He fought at the Battle of Albuera in Charles Alten’s independent KGL brigade. When his brother was promoted to lead the brigade, Halkett took over command of the 2nd Light Infantry Battalion, KGL. At the Battle of Salamanca, his battalion fought in John Hope’s 7th Division. In the Siege of Burgos campaign, he distinguished himself at the Battle of Venta del Pozo. In 1813 he joined the new Hanoverian army and at the Battle of Göhrde he led a brigade of Hanoverian troops in Count Wallmoden’s army. He captured a Danish standard at the action of Sehestedt.

At the Battle of Waterloo, Halkett commanded four battalions of Hanoverian landwehr (militia), which were sent to the front with the regulars. These units were organised into the 3rd Hanoverian Brigade of Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton’s 2nd Division. Halkett’s brigade was held in reserve on the right flank for most of the battle. After the defeat of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, the Duke of Wellington sent Halkett to pursue the disintegrating French forces. He is remembered for capturing General Cambronne while his Osnabrück Battalion engaged the French Imperial Guard.

After Waterloo, Halkett stayed in the Hanoverian service. He rose to be a General and Inspector-General of infantry. He led a Federal Army Corps in the First War of Schleswig (also known as the Prussian-Danish War of 1848), and defeated the Danes at the Battle of Oeversee, a rear-guard action at Sankelmark. Halkett held many foreign orders, including the Prussian Order of the Black Eagle, the Pour le Mérite and the Russian St. Anne. In 1862, he was ennobled (heritable) to a Freiherr (Baron) by King George V of Hanover and died the following year. His brother served with considerable distinction during the Waterloo campaign, being wounded at Waterloo and having four horses shot from under him

Lord Henry Paget had a famous military career serving as a distinguished cavalry commander. He served in Flanders and Spain and inherited the title of Earl of Uxbridge in 1812. At Waterloo he led the infamous charge of the British heavy cavalry and later lost his right leg to one of the last cannon shots of the day. He was created Marquess of Anglesey on 4 July 1815 and promoted to General in 1819. He died in 1854

Richard Diggens joined the 11th Light Dragoons as Cornet in 1796, and was successively promoted Lieutenant in 1799, Captain in 1801, Major in 1806, Lt. Colonel by brevet in June 1813 and Lt. Colonel of the 11th Dragoons in 1818. He served in Spain and Portugal and was attached to the Portuguese service receiving a gold medal for the Battle of Vittoria where he commanded the 6th Portuguese Dragoons. He retired in 1820, and died at Le Havre on 4 December 1835

£1,000 - 1,500 US$1,400 - 2,100 €1,200 - 1,700

Provenance John Harvey (c.1667-1721) of Finningley, Nottinghamshire and Ickwell Bury, Bedfordshire was educated at Inner Temple and St. Catherine’s, Cambridge in 1682, and subsequently went on the Grand Tour between 1688 and 1689. In 1689 he married Sarah, the fourth daughter of Sir John Robinson, 1st Baronet and M.P. of Nuneham Courtnay, Oxon and Farmingwoods, Northamptonshire, who was Lord Mayor of London between 1662 and 1663. John Harvey was Sheriff of Bedfordshire between 1711 and 1712 and was re-elected for the county as a Tory in 1715 but was unseated on petition. His name was sent to the Pretender in 1721 as a probable supporter in the event of an uprising, and he died in 1721.

Burke’s Geneaological and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, 1874 quotes the following under John Harvey of Ickwell Bury: ‘A very handsome silver mounted couteau de chasse was presented to this gentleman by the Prince of Hesse Cassel in 1701 in consequence of his having saved the prince’s life when exposed to imminent danger in a boar hunt. It is still in the possession of the family.’

The Prince of Hesse Cassel is Prince Friedrich of Hesse Cassel, later King of Sweden (1676-1751)

The form of this hilt and its decoration is similar to a rapier in the Wallace Collection (inv. no. A596). It has been suggested that the quality of the silver decoration may originate from a Royal London workshop, such as that of Nathaniel Matthewe (recorded 1584-1641). Matthewe is mentioned in the Great Wardrobe accounts in the early 17th century where it appears that he was required to supply swords for specific occasions such as for the enrolment of a Knight of the Bath and the installation of a Garter Knight. On 28 September 1614 he is recorded supplying ‘... a hunting weapon with a knife.... set with cherubs’ heads of silver, the whole damascened with gold embossed and chased, the grip of large silver wire gilded.....’ See A.V.B.

Offered with a figured rounded grip indistinctly inscribed ‘N.P. Banks’, as confirmed by a letter of August 3 1976, signed by W.D. Ates, Criminalist, Jackson Police Laboratory, Jackson, Mississippi

It has been suggested that N.P. Banks could be Major-General Prentiss Banks (1816-1894). Banks was a prominent member of Congress from 1852 to 1857 and was governor of Massachusetts from 1858 until 1861. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was president of the Illinois Central Railroad Company. On offering his services to the Government he was made Major-General of volunteers, and was appointed to the command of the Department of Annaporis, and then to the Department of the Shenandoah. In the organization of the Army of the Potomac in March 1862, he was assigned to the Fifth Corps, but his force was detached 4 April 1862, and remained in the Shenandoah Valley, where Banks had command until that corps was merged in the Army of Virginia on 26 June 1862. After the Army of Virginia was discontinued, Banks was at the head of the Military District of Washington until October 1862. He succeeded Major-General B.F. Butler in command of the Department of the Gulf, and was actively engaged along the lower Mississippi and Red rivers. He resigned his commission after the disastrous Red River expedition of 1864, and was re-elected to Congress

First patented in America in 1856 Dr. Jean Alexandre Francois LeMat’s famous revolver was ready for production by 1859. A partnership was formed with his cousin by marriage Major, later General, P.G.T. Beauregard who was an enthusiastic supporter of LeMat and his revolver, bringing it to the attention of the Conferate Military and even helping to finance it’s production. By 1860 the partnership was over. However, the first production LeMat’s were being built under the direction of Charles Federic Girard with whom LeMat had formed a new partnership in 1860. Formerly Assistant Secretary at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, Girard eventually acquired about 80% of the patent rights to the revolver and on his return to France oversaw the production of only about 3,000 of the revolvers between 1862 and 1865. The business became bankrupt following the defeat of the Confederacy. See Marie-Antoinettte and Alain F. Serpette with Valmore J. Forgett, Colonel Francois A.
