PROPERTY FROM THE DESCENDANT FAMILY OF SIR WILLIAM MACNAGHTEN 57 A FINE COORG GOLD-HILTED KNIFE (AYDA KATTI), THE POMMEL WITH AN INSCRIPTION FOR LING RAJENDER WADEER, RAJA OF COORG, DATED FOR 1808/10 with broad hatchet-shaped blade formed with a sharp curved inner edge, struck on one face with a gold-lined mark, the letters 'oC', knurled back-edged at the top, the forte widening and filed with a stepped moulding along the back-edge, recessed ricasso with elaborate stepped and bead-filed mouldings, hilt of characteristic form encased in sheet gold, the lower portion faceted at the base, thick pear-shaped pommel engraved with the inscription 'Lingra Jender Wadeer' within a circular linear frame enclosing the Raja's cypher and the date, the grip bound with plaited gold wire retained by four slender vertical gold fillets, with an early, probably original, black silk tassel 37.0 cm; 14 ½ in blade Provenance The descendant family of Sir William Macnaghten Ling Rajender Wadeer, Raja Of Coorg was known for his warmth towards the English as the following account of 1815 shows: '…on my return from the Travancore country, I passed through the territories of the Raja of Coorg from whom I met with a very hospital reception. He is extremely fond of the English; assists them in every way in passing through his country and will not suffer them to pay for anything. He has built an elegant house at his capital, and furnished it entirely in European style for their accommodation…He dresses frequently in the English style; and instead of indulging in luxury and dissipation, as Eastern princes are apt to do, he has made it his study to excel in all sorts of manly exercises. He is extremely fond of hunting…rides elegantly and is perfect master of the use of the spear…I have repeatedly seen him on horseback…spear an orange thrown up in the air. I passed some days with him…employed chiefly in the truly Royal sport of tyger and elephant hunting. On taking leave him he presented me among other things with a knife made at Coorg, and of remarkably well tempered steel…being ornamented with gold…is for men of the highest caste…the Raja has brought the manufacture of swords and guns to great perfection…he showed me a double-barrelled Joe Manton and an imitation of it made at Coorg…they were so perfectly similar in every respect that I really could not tell them [apart].See Scots Magazine 1815 p. 207-8. Some years later Basil Hall recounted his somewhat impish sense of humour: '…[the next day]…on a signal given by the rajah a folding door was thrown open on one side of the court, and in stalked two immense royal tigers, held by several men on each side, by long but slight ropes attached to collars round the animals necks. These beasts…allowed themselves to be led close to us. I confess I did not much like this degree of propinquity, and eyed the slender cordage with some professional anxiety…the rajah and his son seemed quite unconcerned…..[he then] directed the men to let go the ropes and fall back…we sat…with…nothing on earth to prevent their munching us all up…' See Hall 1845

Sir William Hay Macnaghten, baronet (1793-1841) joined the Madras army as a cavalry cadet at which time he filled his hours learning Persian and Hindi, followed by Tamil, Telugu, Kanarese, and Marathi. He learned the art of diplomacy and gained a place in the Bengal civil service, his diligence and cleverness easily marked him out as one of the most distinguished students at the college of Fort William where he won every linguistic prize and medal on the college's books. His two monumental works, Principles and Precedents of Mohummudan Law (1825) and Principles and Precedents of Hindu Law (2 vols., 1828-9) were both significant and used as handbooks by generations of British-Indian judges. In 1831 Macnaghten's became secretary to the governor-general Lord William Bentinck and later Lord Auckland. The crisis on the north-western frontier was now looming and Macnaghten argued that the British should befriend Afghanistan to counter balance the Sikhs, believing that Ranjit Singh the erstwhile ally and aged ruler of the Punjab, could not live for much longer. Unfortunately his plans failed, the British position became untenable. Muhammad Akbar Khan claimed the British, particularly Macnaghten, were not to be trusted and summoned him to an exposed plain outside Kabul. Almost certainly aware that his fate was now sealed, Macnaghten attended the interview accompanied only by three officer's. On arrival they were seized and carried into the city to their deaths.

196 THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN

196 ELEMENTS OF A RARE HORSE CAPARISON, FIRST HALF OF THE 18TH CENTURY, PROBABLY ENGLISH of velvet-covered leather (extensive wear, perished), retaining eight gilt-brass plaques decorated in an openwork design with the owner’s arms within an oval foliate frame, six with his crest framed en suite, numerous gilt brass rectangular bosses, flowers, small foliate panels and buck les, and the brass elements remaining in generally good condition Provenance Sotheby’s, 9th February 1970, lot 110. The arms are those of Sir John Parsons (1613-1717) and his son, Humphrey Parsons (circa 1676-1741). Sir John Parsons was from a prosperous London brewing family. He was proprietor of the Red Lion brewery in East Smithfield and his operations included export and naval contracting. He was knighted by James II and became a prominent figure in Civic London, being alderman (from 1689), lord mayor (1703-4), and a member of parliament for Reigate in 1685 and from 1689 almost continuously to his death in 1717. He was a pronounced Tory with Jacobite leanings. His third and only surviving son Humphrey inherited the brewery and followed his father, becoming alderman (1721), sheriff (1722-3), and twice lord mayor of London (1730, 1740), as well as master of the Grocers’ Company (1726-31) and president of the Bethlem and the Bridewell hospitals. He was a member of parliament for Harwich (1722-7) and London (from 1727 until his death in 1741). His great personal popularity in London added significantly to his political importance as its member of parliament. Humphrey was a keen horseman and is described as being passionately addicted to the hunt as well as keeping a ‘brilliant stable’, which is borne out by the sumptuous nature of the present caparison. Humphrey continued his father’s success at the Red Lion Brewery and it became one of the four largest breweries in the capital in the second quarter of the eighteenth century. He handled the principle export trade in beer to France, its success no doubt driven largely by his goods being exempted from import duty. This exemption was a privilege bestowed on him by Louis XV, when he came to the king’s notice during a hunt in France. Parsons’s spirited English courser outstripped the rest, and, in contravention of the usual etiquette, brought him in at the death. In response to the king’s enquiries, Parsons was maliciously described to him as ‘un chevalier de Malte.’ At an interview which followed, Parsons offered his horse, which had attracted the king’s admiration, for his majesty’s acceptance. The horse was accepted, and the king, who showed him every mark of favour, presented him with his portrait set in diamonds on 16 Feb. 1731. A broadside of 1741 entitled ‘A Hymn to Alderman Parsons, our Lord Mayor,’ describes him as a church man, an incorruptible tory, and continues: in France he is respected / The French King does agree / That he should bring his beer / Over there duty free. Humphrey was a frequent visitor to France before this time and became one of the Pretender’s most valued correspondents in London, though it is not clear precisely what services he was able to render beyond acting as a conduit for the introduction of Jacobite tracts. He died on 21 March 1741 during his second term as lord mayor, and was buried at Reigate. His popularity is suggested by a number of engravings published around the time of his death. £700-1000 57 TDM-023 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 05/11/2018 11:40 Page 58

PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF JAMES D. LAVIN PH.D (1929 – 2013) James D. Lavin was born in Fort Benning, Georgia in 1929, the son of a US Army officer. From a very young age he studied European history and literature and had a fascination with arms and armour. As a young child he read everything available to him on the history of war and the weapons used, and started collecting American Civil War firearms. He developed an interest in art and studied Art History at St. Louis University and later painting in Urapan, Mexico under Alfredo Salce. After 4 years in Mexico, Lavin joined the Air Force during the Korean War, serving as a pilot in multi-engines (B-29s and KC97s) and was engaged in eight years of active duty. He then completed his education at Florida State University where he majored in Spanish language and literature. With the award of a Fulbright Scholarship, he travelled to , where working from primary sources, he was able to investigate arms production from its infancy to the arrival of the machine age. His resulting doctoral dissertation, A History of Spanish Firearms, stands as the standard reference on the subject. In his introduction to that book Claude Blair noted Lavin’s rare combination of qualities including his outstanding research, first class knowledge of the Spanish language and his wide grasp of the history of firearms in general that make the book one of outstanding importance in the field Lavin culminated his long academic career at The College of William and Mary (1968- 2002) in Virginia where he taught Spanish Language and Golden Age Literature. He developed a Cultural History of Spain course which he taught for many years with emphasis on Christian and Islamic art, architecture and the material culture of Spain. He also directed William and Mary’s summer program in Asturias for 5 years. After Jim retired from teaching he continued his firearms research as well as privately consulting with museums and collectors from around the world. The following selection of his numerous publications and contributions to academic journals give an insight into the breadth and importance of his work: Arms and Armour of 17th-Century Virginia, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, 2000; The Art and Tradition of the Zuloagas: Spanish Damascene from the Khalili Collection, Oxford, 1997; Decorated Firearms, 1540-1870 (with W.B. Gusler), Williamsburg, 1977; The Zuloaga Armourers, Journal of the Arms and Armour Society (JAAS), London, 1986; The Gift of James I to Felipe III of Spain, JAAS, 1992; Spanish Ibex- Horn Powder Flasks, JAAS, 1990; El regalo de Jacobo I a Felipe III en la Real Amería, Madrid, 1989; Armas de fuego madrileñas en el Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid, 1986; The French Pattern Book of Nicolás Bis, 1967; Spanish Miquelet Nomenclature, JAAS,1966; Miquelet Accessories, The American Rifleman, 1966; An Examination of Some Early Documents Regarding the Use of Gunpowder in Spain, JAAS, London, 1964; La influencia italiana en la arcabucría española, Armi Antiche, Torino, 1964. This second group of pieces offered for sale from his collection reflect the deep knowledge and interest Lavin had for the subject and present a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire some t ruly distinguished examples of Spanish gunmaking.
