| THE MAIN SHIP'S BELL FROM THE ALGERINE CLASS MINESWEEPER PINCHER (J294), BUILT BY HARLAND & WOLFF, 1943 cast in brass with moulded rim, ebonised crown top suspension, black-filled lettering inscribed PINCHER over an arc dated '1943', with Government broad arrow mark to reverse, white-painted interior with clapper staple (lacking clapper) - 13 x 13in. (33 x 33cm.); mounted on a later wooden stand - 18 x 20in. (46 x 51cm.) £600-£800 Provenance: The Algerine Association. Essentially an enlarged 'Bangor' Class vessel, ultimately 110 of these 950 ton ships were built by yards in the UK and Canada between 1941-45. Originally intended to be turbine powered, supply issues meant that only twenty-seven were thus built, including Pincher, the rest were VTE (vertical triple expansion) engined, however both types were capable of developing 16.5 knots. Armed with a single 4in. quick-firing gun and four 40mm Bofors, they needed up to 138 crew to man them. Only half a dozen were lost on active service, including the name-ship of the Class to an Italian submarine, and most were used as anti-submarine escorts. Most of the surviving ships were sold for breaking in the 1960s with Pincher broken at Dunston in March 1962. |

COVENTRY, CIRCA 1916 cast in brass with profile elephant and castle with lion over, and motto AVIS MEA CREDO under within rope border, mounted to a circular section of circuit board, the tampion - 7in. (18cm.) wide £150-£250 Built by Swan Hunter in 1916 but not comissioned until February 1918, Coventry was a C-Class light cruiser of just over 4,000 tons and capable of 29 knots. Assigned to the Atlantic Fleet, from 1920 she was HQ ship to Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham. As WWII approached she was converted to an anti-aircraft cruiser to meet the threat of increasingly sophisticated aircraft and was damaged by German aircraft attacking the Shetland islands in January 1940. Assigned to the Mediterranean, she survived an Italian torpedo attack and, on 18th May 1941, won the campaign's first VC, awarded posthumously to Albert Sephton for his defence against repeated Stuka dive bomb attacks. On 14th September 1942 she was attacked by a squadron of Junkers 88s and damaged to such an extent H.M.S. Zulu was obliged to scuttle her. Her official pattern badge, also an elephant and castle, was granted on 2nd December 1919. |

As Rotherham she served mainly in the Far East and Japan - her Commander personally received the surrender of 34,000 Japanese naval personnel in Singapore in 1945. In 1948 she was sold to the newly independent India which formally received her in July 1949 as the I.N.S. Rajput and she took part in the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, in which India claimed she was responsible for the sinking of Pakistani submarine Ghazi, claims disputed to date by Pakistan which maintains an accidental discharge was responsible. Rajput was broken up in 1976. |

| LT CMDR CHARLES GOODEVE'S ROYAL NAVY DRESS SWORD the half basket hilt inscribed on the thumb piece C.F. GOODEVE R.N.V.R., 31in. etched regulation blade, scabbard and chamois-lined travel case - 39in. (99cm.) overall £500-£800 Sir Charles Frederick Goodeve O.B.E. (1904-1980) was a research chemist born in Canada but won a scholarship to study at UCL in 1927. An active member of the R.N.V.R., he was promoted to Lt Cmdr in 1936 and began turning his attention to naval issues. When War broke out he was transferred to the navy's gunnery and mine research establishment H.M.S. Vernon where he developed the principal method to counter the threat of magnetic mines and which essentially girdled a ship's hull with electrical pulses in opposition to their natural field, effectively cancelling it out - he called it 'degaussing' after the German scientist, whose name was used for a unit of magnetism, and the name stuck. It was used on over 10,000 allied ships during the war but was expensive and he developed a cheaper method called 'wiping' in which ships trailed magnetised cables - the British 'wiped' 400 ships in four days before D-Day alone. He was then transferred to the Department of Miscellaneous Weapon Development (DMWD) where he devised plastic armour and the 'hedgehog', an forward-thrown anti-submarine weapon for which he was appointed his O.B.E. By 1942 he was running the Navy's research and development strategy and created a special branch for India to deal with specialised problems faced in the East. In 1946 he was knighted, and awarded the U.S. medal of freedom with silver palm. |

(27cm.) high £400-£600 Admiral Sir Cecil Halliday Jepson Harcourt GBE KCB (1892-1959) saw action in both World Wars and, from September 1945 to June 1946, was the de facto governor of Hong Kong. He was appointed Director of the Admiralty Operations division in 1939; in 1941 was Flag Captain of the Home Fleet aboard the Duke of York and between 1942-44 was involved in the North Africa Campaign culminating in the landings at Salerno. However, his fame was secured when he took the surrender of the Japanese forces (under Vice-Admiral Fujita and Lieutenant-General Tanaka) in Hong Kong and then remained there until a civilian Government could be restored. He was a sensitive administrator, and was called by the Chinese name Ha Kok , a reference to a distinguished fourth-century Chinese nobleman Chung Kok . He was knighted in 1945 (KCB), was promoted vice-admiral in 1946, and awarded the grand cordon of the Chinese order of the Cloud and Banner. He retired in 1952. |

(32 x 20cm.) £300-£500 A fascinating account compiled by Vice Admiral Kurt Assman taken from German naval archives of the events that ultimately proved to be the cancellation of the invasion of England, code named 'Sealion'. The account varies from exaggerated hopes to pessimistic forecasts and the operation probably failed owing to Goering's lukewarm support and doubt that an invasion would take place or succeed. A summary of the Naval Staff's appreciation, dated 10th September, noted There is no sign of the defeat of the enemy's airforce over Southern England.Sealion was postponed until January 1941, again in May 1941 and then shelved indefinately.

(18.5cm.) long £300-£500 Built by Blohm & Voss and launched in 1937, the Wilhelm Gustloff (named for a Swiss Nazi martyr) was the flagship of the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, a sort of state relaxation arm of the Nazi party - by the time War broke out, the fleet had provided over 10 million cruises. The Wilhelm Gustloff entered service in March 1938 so her intended career was very short, perhaps only eighteen months or so. Requisitioned in September 1939 she had a varied war career - hospital ship, troop transport and even doubled up as Titanic in Goebbels 1942 propaganda film of the disaster (with submariners drafted in as extras). On 30th January 1945 she departed from Danzig crammed with about 11,000 troops and refugees fleeing the Red Army's advance when she was spotted by a Soviet submarine and torpedoed with the loss of about 9,434 including some 5,000 children. |
