LARKHAM A.S.C.’, Kings South Africa medal with 2 clasps, South Africa 1901 and South Africa 1902, ‘13884 CORPL G. LARKHAM A.S.C.’, 1914-15 Star medal, ‘13884 SJT. (A. C.S MJR) G.J.

Both Boer War medals and clasps are confirmed on the relevant rolls (No29 Company A.S.C). Great War medals are confirmed on the medal index card. George John Larkham was born in Deal, Kent and attested or service in the Oxfordshire Light Infantry in December 1892 and was discharged by purchase in January 1895. On 13th May 1898 he attested for the Army Service Corps and served through to his discharge on 28th December 1919, having completed almost 22 years which included 6 years and 5 months in South Africa and 3 years and 2 months overseas with the B.E.F. His records do not show any entitlement to any Long Service medal and this may be due to the fact that he was tried by Court Martial in January 1915 due to drunkenness on active service being reduced to the rank of Sergeant. On discharge he gave his intended place of residence as Basingstoke, Hampshire and 1939 he is recorded as being an Army Pensioner in Highclere, Hampshire with the additional responsibility of being an A.R.P. Warden, a responsibility that would have most likely qualified him for the Defence medal. 71 year old George Larkham died in the 2nd quarter of 1944.

#31 – An Interesting Boer War Medal to a Canadian who Served for 22 Years in the British Army with this Being his Only Medal (Лот: 8624)
Ставки принимаются через менеджераAn Interesting Boer War Medal to a Canadian who Served for 22 Years in the British Army with this Being his Only Medal, Queens South Africa medal with clasp Cape Colony, ‘4943 CPL. C.C MCGREGOR R.A.M.C.’harles Cameron McGregor was born in Quebec, Canada on 12th November 1860 and he attested for the 40th Brigade at Winchester on 12th May 1879 aged 18. He transferred to the Hospital Corps on 1st February 1882 remaining with the Corps until his discharge on 25th May 1901 having completed 22 years and 14 days service. During this time, he served in Egypt, West Indies, Bermuda and twice in South Africa (20th November 1900 to 23rd July 1900 and 4th August 1900 to 20th April 1901). The issue of the medal is confirmed on the roll, but we have been unable to confirm his entitlement to the clasp.e looks to have struggled to adjust to civilian life as he had several convictions in the years following his discharge, being convicted of stealing postal letters on 27th June 1903 and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment without hard labour. On 13th June 1904 he was convicted of ‘refusing to work in the Wallingford Union’ and sentenced to 14 days Hard Labour. Immediately on his release, he was convicted at Henley on Thames on 27th June of wilful damage to a window and sentenced to 7 days imprisonment with Hard Labour. The absence of any further recorded convictions hopefully indicates him settling into civilian ways.

#32 – Third Reich SA Feldherrnhalle Dagger by Carl Eickhorn, Solingen (Лот: 7221)
Ставки принимаются через менеджераThird Reich SA Feldherrnhalle Dagger by Carl Eickhorn, Solingen, this most interesting piece being a mixture of original and later produced parts of probably the rarest German dress dagger which was ever produced, the SA Feldherrnhalle. The dagger has brown wooden grip with eagle and swastika top pommel, the cross guard has SA emblem to the centre. Housed in a plated brass scabbard with two hanging rings. Double edged blade with motto ‘Alles für Deutschland’ and has the Carl Eickhorn makers trademark to the reverse. The blade measures 27 ¾ cms, overall 45cms. The SA Feldherrnhalle dagger was instituted in 1937 for the leaders of the Standarte Feldherrnhalle and for leaders in the staff of the SA Chief of Staff Viktor Lutze. The design of the dagger was created by Paul Casberg and was exclusively manufactured by Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. The daggers were all numbered and it is believed that about fifty were manufactured. In the 1960’s some original parts, including the blades were found in one of the Eickhorn factories, these were then sold and fittings were manufactured and daggers were produced for the collecting market, this is what we believe this example to be and is being sold as. These later produced examples are highly sought after by collectors today as an original examples are almost impossible to find and when they do come onto the market demand a premium price which most collectors can not justify.
