George Cross – Empire Gallantry Medal Exchange - London Gazette 3 June 1924 Exchanged 25 November 1941 Military Medal London Gazette, 13 March 1919 Private Orr Landed in France with the 2nd Battalion High Land Light Infantry on 21 September 1914 Head Constable Orr was originally recommended for the Constabulary Medal the recommendation reading as follows: No 1466 Special Head Constable Orr Samuel No 20 Platoon At about 7.15pm on 9 July 1922 Head Constable Orr was on the premises of Mr John Mc.Cardle Restaurateur of No. 17 Commercial Court off Donegall Street, Belfast. He was speaking to the proprietor when two men entered and asked for Cigarettes the Proprietor turned round to supply them when the two men drew Revolvers and shouted “Hands Up”. Head Constable Orr, although unarmed feinted and then grappled with one of the men and one shot was fired which grazed the Head Constable’s chin. Then the second man fired severely wounding the Head Constable, the bullet entering under the left shoulder blade and coming out of the front portion of the left breast. The gallantry displayed by an unarmed man faced with two loaded revolvers at two yards range I consider is worthy of the Constabulary Medal. Head Constable Orr has always displayed a high courage and has always been a splendid example to men under circumstances which have called for resource and initiative. He is already in possession of the Military Medal. Signed E.B.C. Dickinson. Captain. Officer Commanding No. 20 Platoon Sold with the Royal Mint case of issue for the George Cross, original Constabulary Medal Recommendation Original Correspondence from 10 Downing Street regarding the award of the Empire Gallantry Medal, Original Central Chancery receipt for the return of the Empire Gallantry Medal, Original Central Chancery Invitation to George Cross investiture, newspaper cutting, correspondence from the Royal Society of St George and an original photograph of Samuel Orr in Police uniform.

H.A. Littleton. R.N.V.R.). Generally good very fine, toned, one tiny edge knock to BWM. (3) £1200-1500 Distinguished Service Order London Gazette, 23 July 1918 Mentioned in Despatches London Gazette, 19 February 1919 Distinguished Service Order Lieut. Hugh Alexander Littleton, R.N.V.R. Handled his motor-launch in a magnificent manner. Embarked over sixty officers and men from “Thetis” under heavy machinegun fire at close range. It was solely due to his courage and daring that his boat succeeded in making good her escape with the survivors of the “Thetis”. M.L. 526 commanded by Lieut. H.A. Littleton, R.N.V.R., had followed the block-ships, exactly in accordance with the Plan, during their perilous journey from the Mole. These officers had been specially chosen for the rescue work from the large number of volunteers for that dangerous task. M.L. 526 had steamed in to the sunken block-ships in the canal, embarking many of Intrepid’s men from a cutter, and then proceeded to Thetis, where all the survivors from the vessel were also embarked from a cutter. The motor launch had come under heavy fire from the shore guns and her escape added one more item to the long list of miracles which took place that night. With sixty-five survivors Lieut. Littleton steamed out to sea past the Mole and made the entire passage to Dover under her own steam, in spite of the gruelling which this frail craft had gone through. Hugh Alexander Littleton was born 25 December 1888 and lived at 3 Albany Terrace, Regents Park; he enlisted into the Royal Naval Air Service 17 January 1913, rising to the rank of Temporary Sub-Lieutenant. He resigned from the R.N.A.S. 18 March 1916 being taken on to the Royal Naval Reserve with the rank of Temporary Sub Lieutenant 29 April 1916. He married Mary, elder daughter of the Archdeacon of Ross and Mrs Beecher, at Bethhaven Church, Co. Cork September 1916. He was awarded the Royal Naval reserve Officers Decoration in the London Gazette of 6 May 1917. Sold with copy London Gazette entries and further research; contained (loose) in Hunt & Roskill leather case (H.A. Littleton) to lid.

A Rare Great War Q Ship Distinguished Service Cross Group of 4 awarded to Lieutenant F.G.J. Manning, Royal Naval Reserve who was decorated for his gallantry in Acton’s successful against UC-72 in August 1917, he had earlier won a Mention in Despatches for leading the storming party that captured one of the Königsberg’s landed guns in Bagamoyo in August 1916, comprising Distinguished Service Cross; hallmarked London 1917; 1914-15 Star (S.Lt. F.G.J. Manning R.N.R.), British War and Victory Medals 1914-1920 with Mentioned in Despatched emblem (Lieut. F.G.J. Manning R.N.R.). Extremely fine, toned. (4) £3000-3500 Manning was transferred to “special service” in the summer of 1917, when he joined Q-ship Acton (a.k.a. Q-34) and it was in the same capacity that he won his D.S.C. for the destruction of UC-72 off the French Coast on 20 August 1917. Subsequent reports states: “I have the honour to report on an action which took place between H.M.S. Acton and a submarine yesterday 20 August 1917. Acton was steaming at 10 knots when at 6.25pm a submarine was sighted on the port quarter. Acton maintained approximately the same course and reduced speed to 8 knots, orders being at the same time given to make more smoke and to avoid blowing off steam. The submarine commenced firing at 6.25pm and continued at ranges varying from 8300 to 6000 yards until 8.00pm. During this time between 50 and 60 rounds were fired, eight of which were time-fused. The submarine ceased fire as boats were lowered. At 8.00pm the ship was stopped and a “panic abandon ship stations” were carried out: smoke boxes were fired in the well deck and steam leakage turned on. At about this time the submarine submerged and carried out a close periscope inspection of the ship which lasted until 8.35pm. The submarine was so close that at one time it actually collided with the ship, shaking Acton fore and aft. It then came to the surface about 1000 yards away and hailed the boats to come along side, but as it was getting dark, the submarine was not seen through the spy-holes on the bridge. The next time it was seen, it was circling close round the ship on the surface, and at a range of between 200 and 300 yards, fire was opened on the submarine just before the port beam. Six rounds were fired, at least four of which hit the submarine, the certain hits being two abaft and below the conning tower and two on the conning tower. Loud shouts came up from the submarine when Acton opened fire. The submarine then submerged stern first and most of her conning tower was shot away. The telegraph was put to full speed ahead, when the open fire bell was pushed and an attempt was made to ram the submarine as she submerged, a depth charge being dropped when over the spot where she submerged at 9.10pm. This exploded 10 to 15 seconds after being let go and sent up a column of black or dark brown water 25 to 30 feet high. It was now very dark, so the boats were found and hoisted. The foremost fall of the port life boat had been shot away and caused a little delay in hoisting. When the boats were clear of the water, Acton commenced steering in a square, in the hope of finding wreckage on which to drop another depth charge or for picking up survivors, but unfortunately, at about 10.20pm, a light, then considered suspicious, but since only believed to be the reflection of a star, was seen and followed up. Nothing further was seen of the submarine, and I consider it was sunk; but the darkness prevented small objects being seen in the water; though after depth charges had exploded the only man who was looking over the side aft said that the water had the appearance it would have “if the ship was throwing overboard ashes”. The depth charge used seems to have gone into the submarine’s swirl. The weather was fine and the sea calm”. Manning was awarded the D.S.C. and received a £40 share of the Admiralty’s resultant prize fund. Sold with copied research.

The Japanese Cruiser Haguro and the destroyer Kamikaze had left the Malacca Strait on 14 May; early next day an Avenger torpedo bomber operating from the escort aircraft carrier HMS Emperor sighted them. HMS Saumarez, HMS Verulam and HMS Vigilant in one division and HMS Venus and HMS Virago in a second, were diverted to intercept. The destroyers attacked both ships early on 16 May. HMS Haguro, overwhelmed by their torpedoes, went to the bottom at 0209 in a position some forty-five miles southwest of Penang, although she had straddled HMS Saumarez twice prior to her sinking. HMS Kamikaze was damaged but managed to escape.

He served in the 46th Foot during the Crimean War, and it was here that he was recommended for a new gallantry decoration - the DCM, 15 January 1855. The DCM roll also appears to show that he was invalided during this period, showing possible wound or injury. His attestation papers state ‘awarded a medal and Gratuity of £10 for Distinguished Conduct in the Field, per authority dated War Office, 7 May 1853.’ He was discharged from further service 25 May 1857, at the age of 41. Worthy of further research, sold with copy roll mentions and discharge papers.

Distinguished Conduct Medal 33 Serjeant McLaughlin (note spelling) A, 1/5th (Renfrewshire) Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (T.F.) For conspicuous gallantry on 12 July 1915, on the Gallipoli Peninsula. During the advance he assisted to clear the hostile trench, killing four of the enemy himself, and afterwards rendered valuable aid in consolidating and holding it. He then advanced with his party to an isolated trench and held it until relieved. He had been 30 hours in action and had set a fine example to his men. Warrant Officer Class 2 Alexander McLachlan came from Renfrewshire, Scotland, a pre-war member of the Territorial Force receiving the Territorial Force Efficiency medal as a Serjeant before the out-break of the Great War. The 5th Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders mobilised for war on 5 August 1914, the Battalion spent the next three months manning the Clyde defences whilst training hard for overseas service, from the Clyde they were posted to the Tay defences but after only 8 days the Battalion was ordered to join the 1/2 Lowland Division which was later retitled the 52nd Lowland Division; the Battalion then embarked for overseas at Devonport on the 1st June 1915 aboard the transport “Andania” as part of the 157th Infantry Brigade, they arrived at Alexandria on 12 June where preparations were immediately commenced for the voyage to Gallipoli. On 28 June, the Battalion sailed aboard the S.S. Alnwick Castle for Mudros and reached there on 1 July, being the next transhipped aboard the destroyer HMS Bulldog and the S.S. Fauvette, and two trawlers for Cape Helles. The Battalion sailed for Cape Helles on the night of the 2/3 July 1915 and landed at “S.S. River Clyde Landing”. C.S.M. McLaughlin was promoted to W.O.2 sometime around the arrival of his battalion at Gallipoli. The Battalion’s first tour of the trenches was on 5 July at Ghurkha Bluff, where it underwent instruction in trench warfare. After this followed tours in Nelson Avenue and Plymouth Avenue, between which rest trenches were occupied near Pink Farm. In order to assist the troops who were going to carry out a fresh landing at Suvla Bay, an attack on Achi Baba, a large hill which overlooked the whole of the British communications, was ordered. The Battalion formed the centre of the left flank of the left attack, which commenced at 4.30pm on 12 July, the object being to capture an intricate trench system known as E9, E10, E11 and E12a. Three lines of trenches were detailed as objectives, whereas only two actually existed, and the heavy losses suffered scrambling up the slopes were doubled during the return to the second objective. Most of the Turks defended so stubbornly that they had to be bayonetted in their trenches, Company Serjeant Major McLachlan cleared a trench by himself, killing four Turks one after the other with his bayonet, for his general behaviour he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (Extract The Fifty-Second Lowland Division History 1914-1918 Chapter VI; by Lt Col R.R. Thompson M.C.) The re-engraving of the surname on the D.C.M. is easily explained, it having been done by the recipient, as the D.C.M roll confirms that it was issued in the name of McLaughlin, a spelling error on the part of the issuing authorities, and his D.C.M. bears the correct service number, rank, initials and unit details. The award of this D.C.M would appear to be the first to the Battalion in the Great War. Sold with copied London Gazette entries, m.i.c. and extracts from Divisional History.

During an attack on Hardecourt and the Maltz Horn Farm Ridge on 28 August, owing to many casualties amongst officers, he had to take command of two platoons. These he led with great skill and courage, in spite of heavy opposition from machine guns and shell fire. On reaching the objective the remaining officer in his company was wounded. He immediately assumed command of the whole company, reorganised them, and commenced to put the line in a state of defence. Throughout the time he walked to and fro amongst his men cheering and urging them on. Later in the day he observed a large party of the enemy withdrawing on the left of his company. Without a moment’s hesitation he directed the fire of his Lewis guns and rifles on them, inflicting heavy losses, and making them scatter in confusion. He remained in command of the company throughout the day until an officer was sent up.” On 28 August 1918 the attack on the Hardecourt aux Bois – Maltz Horn Farm ridge was renewed. A deep and fairly steep valley lay in front of it, so that the 12th Machine Gun Battalion was able to bring direct over-head fire to bear for a considerable time whilst the battalions were advancing, a material aid to their progress. Keeping close up to the artillery barrage the 9th Battalion Royal Fusiliers from 36th Brigade on the right and the 1/1st Cambridgeshire and 9th Essex from 35th Brigade on the left pushed on capturing prisoners and machine guns and bayoneting the detachments at their posts.

In spite of the isolated position, this N.C.O., together with two other N.C.O’s., worked his way right inside the enemy’s position to within a short distance of the main road, along which the enemy was withdrawing early on 21 Jan ’43. Armed only with a rifle this N.C.O. along with two others, held up an enemy vehicle withdrawing and captured about 20 prisoners. Having passed these back they then held up a second vehicle, but the occupants debussed and returned heavy fire. This N.C.O., along with two other N.C.O’s. stood his ground until it was obvious the situation was too much for them and attempting to withdraw he became wounded. The courage, devotion to duty and determination displayed by this N.C.O. was outstanding, and contributed very largely to the success of the action. Sold with copy M.M. Citation

The 2nd Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, was the only British infantry battalion to serve in East Africa during the Great War. On 2 November 1914 HMS Fox went into Tanga early in the morning to break the truce which had been previously in existence, and demand surrender, which latter was refused. As a result of this, later that evening and early the next morning a landing was effected, with the Loyal North Lancs, 61st Pioneers and 13th Rajput’s all making their way to the shore. They were met with only a desultory sniper fire, and no casualties occurred. At about 4am four companies of the 13th Rajputs were sent towards Tanga to occupy the town and clear up the situation. In the event they did not make it as far as the town, as they met a fierce resistance and suffered heavy casualties whilst retreating. On the following day, 4 November, the order was given for an all-out attack on Tanga. The Loyal North Lancs, along with their Indian counterparts, advanced towards the town over difficult terrain, encountering little resistance. It was not until they reached some huts near the railway on the outskirts of town that suddenly a strong opposition was encountered. Here they were met with a hail of rifle and machine-gun fire and as a result suffered many casualties. After a confused close quarters pitched battle, they were forced to accept the inevitable, and the order was given to withdraw. The enemy made no attempt to follow up their success, allowing them to retreat to the trenches near the sea, where they were picked up by HMS Fox, thus ended the attack on Tanga. The next morning the wounded were embarked under a flag of truce, and that evening the transports left Tanga Bay. Sergeant Charles Arnull was born and enlisted in Northamptonshire. Serjeant Charles Arnull died of Blackwater Fever on 7 February 1917 whilst serving with the 2nd Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and is buried in Morogoro Cemetery, Tanzania.

THE DR. ROBERT & JOSHUA FELDMAN COLLECTION OF OFFICIAL BRITISH CORONATION AND JUBILEE MEDALS
British Coronation Medals have been made at the Royal Mint since James I’s coronation in 1603. It is a tradition that has lasted for over 400 years. They constitute a wonderful historical legacy for the United Kingdom: cultural artifacts rich in symbolism. Initially only produced in gold and silver, copper ones were added from the coronation of James II in 1685. The medals were distributed at the coronation ceremonies at Westminster Abbey for centuries. Gold medals were strewn to lords, silver to peers, and copper ones to the public outside the abbey. In 1838 at Victoria’s coronation she decided this was an unseemly process and changed the process to hand out the gold and silver ones individually (although the copper ones were still strewn to the crowd outside). We became interested in coronation medals in 1985 when we came across a coronation medal of Edward VII at a coin show in California. We went on to read Henry Wollaston’s British Official Medals for Coronations and Jubilees (1978) which filled us with enthusiasm for the series. It started a 30 year journey which ultimately led to our completing a collection of all the official medals noted in Wollaston. We are especially indebted to Heldey Betts, an English medal dealer in California for his support and his involvement in this field. We also purchased medals from Baldwin’s, Goldberg’s, Stacks, Steinberg’s, Heritage, Bowers, and Morton & Eden. We always strove to find the most attractive and high quality specimens. Over the 30 years we have been forming this collection, we were able to obtain all the coronation and jubilee medals except the elusive Charles I English Coronation 1626 Gold Medal and James II 1685 Copper Medal. Though recorded as existing, these medals were not available to us and do not appear to have been publically traded for many decades. It has been wonderful for my son, Joshua, and I to have had a marvellous time and challenge during this journey.

It is likely that these are silver examples, and whilst the medal is recorded in silver, no glazed specimens have been noted.

Ferdinand VII (1784-1833; King 1808, 1813-1833), Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy, Gilt-bronze Box Medal, 1820, by Henrionnet, draped and laureate bust left, DON FERDINANDO VIIPOR LA GRACIA DE DIOS REY DE LAS ESPAÑAS, the base with legend within wreath, CONSTITUCION POLITICA DE LA MONARQUIA ESPAÑOLA PROMULGADA EN CADIZ A 19 DE MARZO DE 1812 Y JURADA POR EL REY EL DIA 9 DE MARZO DE 1820, 71.5mm, containing 66 double-sided roundels printed with the titles and

On 19 March 1812, during the Spanish War of Independence (1808-1814), the Cortes of Cádiz promulgated the Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy. The constitution had ten titles and 384 articles and was of a markedly liberal character. On his return to the monarchy, Ferdinand abolished the constitution and restored absolute monarchical power which lasted through to his death in 1833. However, this box medal commemorates the three-year interregnum of 1820 to 1823, when the constitution of Cádiz was reestablished as the fundamental law of the state. Henrionnet also produced a box medal of Louis Antoine de Angôuleme in 1823.

The Northern Sea Route runs from the Kara Sea to the Pacific Ocean, along the Russian Arctic coast - this being the majority of the North-East Passage. The SS Baymingo was part of a larger attempt aimed at supplying anti-communist forces in Archangel and Siberia, using a window of opportunity when the Kara Sea would be free of ice in the summer of 1919. J A Mikkelborg was in command of the expedition, and Captain R Dowling was appointed the Baymingo’s navigating officer. With a cargo of mainly textile goods and chemical stores, the Baymingo was chartered by the UK’s Merchant Trading Company (a subsidiary of the Hudson’s Bay Company), in conjunction with the Cooperative Union of Russia and Central Russia. The SS Baymingo left Liverpool on 1 August 1919, her destination being the mouth of the River Ob, where she met up with a fleet of large barges. Under the command of Colonel Kotelnikov, these had been towed some 1500 miles by tugboats, all the way from Tomsk and Krasnoyarsk. The cargoes were exchanged, and the Baymingo returned to London, arriving on 19 October. (Footnote, courtesy of Glenn Stein, private correspondence).

A number of French clockmakers were “By Appointment Clockmaker to the King”, including Jean-André and Jean-Baptiste Lepaute (1727-1802); Antide Janvier (1751-1835); Robert Robin (1741-1799); Renacle-Nicolas Sotiau (1749-1791) and Dieudonné Kinable (active 1780-1825).

It was at this time in 1814 that Benjamin Plummer was trying to reform the lodges in Wales. The country was divided into four sections of which 172 lodges of the Province of South Wales formed the largest part and Benjamin Hall was no sooner MP than, to Plummer’s great disappointment, he was admitted a Freemason and promoted to Provincial Grand Master. It was not known that his Jewel had survived.

He used his contacts within the Court of George III to have the Thaler, which commemorates his Coronation, struck in London. It would seem the reverse die survived and was used by Pinches as a promotional piece, perhaps at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Extremely fine and very rare. £7000-9000 The obverse title is afzal-al yasin khalifath rabb al-’alamein jalal al-dunya wa al-din, which bestows on Ahsan the lofty position of “lord of both worlds”, a title “usually reserved for Allah, the supreme God” (Bhandare JONS 186). The reverse legend identifies Ahsan as abu al-dhu ‘afa wa al-masakin “father of the weak and the destitute”. The rendition of the mint as Hadrat (venerable) Madura, previously a Tamil temple city, gives an intriguing perspective on the changing social and religious status of the area during this short period of independence before the rising Vijayanagar Kingdom overwhelmed it.

The rao presented Jahangir with 2000 Rupees, 100 Ashrafis and 100 Kutch horses. In return, Jahangir gave him his own horse, an elephant, a dagger, a sword and diamond rings, and also accorded him the privilege of issuing in his own territory his own coins. Whether this issue of Koris dated AH 1028 was part of the 2000 Rupees presented to the Emperor or was struck soon after the meeting is not clear.

Examination of Lots You are encouraged to view the lots before sale and attend the auction in person. Viewing of the lots may be done by appointment in the week prior to the auction at our offices or on an official viewing day. The catalogue is printed with estimates alongside each lot.

Bidders should be prepared for prices to rise if there is competition for the lot. All lots can achieve hammer prices both above and below the published pre-sale estimate. Usually each lot is reserved at 80% of the lower estimate and bids below this are unlikely to be accepted.

Please collect your bidding number from the registration table at the auction room. You should arrive in plenty of time for the lots you are interested in.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.
APPLICATION AND CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP
1.1. By making a bid, a Bidder acknowledges his acceptance of these Conditions and will be bound by them. 1.2. Baldwin's acts as agent for the Seller for the sale of a Lot to the Buyer unless Baldwin's is the owner of the Lot. As such, Baldwin’s is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer. 1.3. The contract for the sale of a Lot is between the Seller and the Buyer and is subject to these Conditions and the Seller's Conditions. 2.
PRE-SALE AND DESCRIPTIONS
2.1. Statements made by us in a Catalogue, during the course of the Auction or elsewhere, describing a Lot including its authorship, origin, age, size, condition, genuineness, authenticity or value are intended as a guide for interested Bidders. These are statements of opinion only and should not be relied on as statements of fact. Illustrations of the Lots are for general identification only. 2.2. Lots by their nature are usually aged and varied in condition. The absence of any description of a defect, damage, modification or restoration in any Catalogue does not imply that there are none. 2.3. Coins are graded to accepted UK standards to the best ability of our specialists. You acknowledge that the grading of coins is subjective and may vary from specialist to specialist, as the process is by nature an art and not a science. For this reason, we do not automatically accept and are not bound by the opinions of third party coin grading services for any purposes including before and after the sale of a Lot. 2.4. If you are interested in a Lot, we strongly recommend that you view it in person before the Auction and form your own opinion of the description of the Lot.
4.4. Subject to Condition 4.2, the contract for the sale of the Lot is concluded on the fall of the hammer. 4.5.
All Lots are offered for sale subject to any Reserve.
4.6.
You cannot cancel your purchase of a Lot once the hammer has fallen.
5.
PAYMENT
5.1. The Purchase Price payable by a Buyer is the Hammer Price plus a Buyer’s Premium of 20% of the Hammer Price. VAT is payable in addition unless the Lot is exempt or zero-rated. 5.2. The symbol ‘G’ appearing next to a lot in this catalogue denotes the item is ‘Investment Gold’ and, therefore, a VAT-registered trader can submit a claim to H M Revenue and Customs to recover the VAT element of the Buyers’ Premium 5.3. Any lot marked with a dagger (†) is subject to import VAT at 5%, this will be added to the hammer price and is payable by the buyer if resident in the EU. If the lot is being exported outside the EU, this import VAT can be waived or refunded on proof of export. 5.4. The Buyer of a Lot shall pay the Purchase Price in full before the Lot can be delivered to the Buyer. 5.5. Except where Condition 5.4 applies, any part of the Purchase Price outstanding after the Auction shall be payable by you within 14 days of the date of the auction, the due date. 5.6. The Purchase Price is payable by you in full. You are not entitled to set-off any amounts that you claim are due from us or anyone else or make any other deductions.
2.5. We reserve the right to change any aspect of the published description of a Lot prior to the auction. Any change may be published on our website, displayed at the auction, announced by the auctioneer prior to the sale and/or communicated in any other manner.
5.7. Unless we have agreed in writing otherwise, you shall act on your own account as principal in respect of the sale and therefore if you accept a commission from a third party to bid on their behalf, you do so at your own risk and will remain personally liable (jointly with your principal) to us for the Purchase Price in accordance with these Conditions.
2.6.
5.8.
3.
All copyright in Catalogues including images belongs to Baldwin's. ABSENTEE COMMISSION BIDS
3.1. If you are unable to attend the Auction personally, you may submit a Commission Bid and we will endeavour to purchase the Lot on your behalf for the lowest price possible. You must submit this in writing using the Commission Bid Form and send it to us by post, fax, email or delivery to our offices at least 24 hours prior to the Auction. 3.2. For all Commission Bids, you must supply your name and address, contact telephone number and email. You must also provide the Lot number and description of the Lot, the amount of your Bid and any other information requested in the Commission Bid Form or by us. It is your responsibility to provide the correct information and to ensure that we have received your Commission Bid. 3.3. We do not charge for this service and therefore we will not incur any liability for executing (or failing to execute) the Commission Bid. 3.4. If you submit a Commission Bid verbally (whether by telephone or otherwise), we shall not be responsible for any misunderstandings (by either us or our agents or you) in relation to your Bid. All bids made in this way must be confirmed in writing before the auction 3.5. If we receive two Commission Bids for equal value for the same Lot, the Bid received first by us shall take precedence. 3.6.
"Buy" commissions [and unlimited Commission Bids] will not be accepted.
4.
AUCTION SALE
4.1. Before the auction, all potential Bidders must notify their name and address to the auctioneer and if required provide proof of identity to our satisfaction and bank or other credit references. 4.2. The highest Bidder for each Lot shall be the Buyer. If there is a dispute, the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to determine the dispute including re-offering the disputed Lot for sale. 4.3. A Bidder must submit a bid for an entire Lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. The auctioneer shall however have an absolute discretion to divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, or to withdraw any Lot from the auction without giving any reason (including after the hammer has fallen). Bidding shall be regulated at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid.
The methods of payment and surcharges are set out in the Catalogue.
5.9. If the Purchase Price has not been settled within 30 days of the auction date a £50 late payment fee will be added and interest will be charged at 2% per month from the due date of payment to the date that cleared funds are received whether that is before or after any legal judgment. This is without prejudice to any other rights that we have for non-payment. 5.10. If you fail to comply with your obligations under these Conditions, the Lot, in respect of such non-compliance, may at our discretion be put up for sale at auction or privately and resold. In this case, you will be liable in full and will indemnify us for all losses, costs and expenses (including legal costs) incurred as a result, including the costs of the resale and the amount (if any) by which the Hammer Price obtained on the resale is less than the Hammer Price obtained on the original sale of the Lot to the Buyer. 6.
RISK, TITLE AND DELIVERY
6.1. The risk of damage/loss to the Lot will pass to the Buyer on the fall of the hammer. Title in a Lot will not pass to the Buyer until the Purchase Price has been paid in full. 6.2. Unless agreed by us, you should collect the Lot within 7 days of the date of the auction. We reserve the right to charge for storage and to resell by auction or privately without notice to you, if a Lot is not collected. Alternatively we will send the Lot to you by recorded post. Postage and insurance costs will be charged as additional costs. 6.3. Except in relation to Forgeries, you must satisfy yourself that the correct Lot has been delivered to you at the time of collection/delivery. We will not be responsible for any discrepancy which might be discovered after the Lots have been collected. If we have shipped the Lot to you, we will not be responsible for any discrepancies if you fail to notify us within 24 hours of receipt. 6.4. It is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain any necessary import, export or other licences required in relation to a Lot. 7.
GUARANTEE FOR FORGERIES
7.1. Baldwin’s is a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists and in accordance with the conditions of membership, provide a guarantee to the Buyer for all Lots against Forgeries on the terms set out in these Conditions (‘Guarantee’). 7.2. For the purposes of these Conditions, a ‘Forgery’ means an imitation that has been created with the fraudulent intent to deceive in respect of the authorship, origin, date, age, period and the correct
description does not correspond with the description in the Catalogue and as a result has a value significantly less than it would have been had it been genuine. 7.3. You must notify us in writing within one month of you becoming aware that the Lot may be a Forgery. The Lot must be returned to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and you must submit evidence that the Lot is a Forgery, the onus being on you to prove that it is a Forgery. 7.4.
You acknowledge that:
(a) we reserve the right to re-assess the Lot or engage at our expense any expert or authority considered by us at our sole discretion to have the necessary expertise to undertake a re-assessment of the Lot; (b) following our re-assessment of the Lot, you agree to be bound by our decision as to whether or not the Lot is a Forgery. 7.5.
You shall not be entitled to a refund for a Forgery if:
(a) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is based primarily on a difference of opinion between us and a third party providing coin grading services;
9.
DATA PROTECTION
9.1. By agreeing to these Conditions, a Bidder acknowledges and agrees that we will use personal information of a Bidder for the purpose of the auction and ancillary matters, including providing a Buyer's personal details to any other person where necessary to enforce our rights under these Conditions. 10.
GENERAL
10.1. These Conditions and the Seller's Conditions constitute the entire agreement between us. All other terms, warranties and representations, express or implied by statute or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. No variation to these Conditions shall be legally binding unless agreed in writing by us. 10.2. All rights and benefits granted to a Bidder under these Conditions are personal to him and may not be assigned or in any other way transferred to any other person. Any such assignment or transfer will be invalid and unenforceable against us.
(b) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is by reason of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any nature;
10.3. A notice required or permitted to be given by either of us to the other under these Conditions shall, in the case of a Bidder, be to the last address notified to us and in the case of Baldwin's, shall be to its registered office.
(c) the description of the Lot in the catalogue was in accordance with generally accepted opinions of numismatic specialists as at the date of publication or the catalogue indicated that there was a conflict of opinion.
10.4. No failure or delay by us in exercising any of our rights under these Conditions shall be deemed to be a waiver of that right, and no waiver by us of any breach of these Conditions by you shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
(d) it has been proved that the Lot is a Forgery by applying a method that was unavailable or not generally applied within the industry of numismatics as at the date of publication of the catalogue or was disproportionately expensive, in both cases as determined in our absolute discretion.
10.5. We may perform our obligations and exercise our respective rights through any of our group companies or assign our rights under these Conditions.
7.6.
If we agree that the Lot is a Forgery then subject to:
(a) you being able to confirm in writing that you can transfer legal and beneficial title to the Lot to us or as directed by us free from all encumbrances or third party claims of any nature; and (b) the exclusions in Condition 7.7, then the sale of the Lot will be rescinded so that it is cancelled and we will refund the Purchase Price to you in full. 7.7. Your right to return the Lot and receive a refund of the Hammer Price under the Guarantee is your sole remedy against us, our agents and subcontractors and/or the Seller for a Forgery. You will not be entitled to claim interest on the amount due to you. Neither we, our agents or sub-contractors nor the Seller shall be liable for costs, expenses, damages or any other liability however it arises relating to a Forgery.
10.6. If any provision of these Conditions is held by any court or other competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions and the remainder of the provision in question shall not be affected. 10.7. English law shall apply to these Conditions and we both agree to the English courts having exclusive jurisdiction. 11.
