KuK horse artilllery gun team by Alexander Pock (1871-1950) - Austrian
This painting (oil on board, 28 x 48.5 cm inside frame) shows an Austrian horse artillery gun team of the KuK army in the old pre-1914 uniform. Pock was perhaps one of the most celebrated of the Austrian artists where this genre was concerned and there are several examples of his work in the Military History Museum in Vienna.

Prussian breast plate (cuirass) - German
This clean example is marked '2' and 'Hartkopf', very probably a retailer's mark, Hartkopf being an early 19th century firm of arms dealers and sword cutlers. Its construction suggests a date nearer to 1760 than later. They were, in any case, proscribed (specifically forbidden) in 1790 by the Prussian army.

Matchlock musket or Toradar, approx 20 gauge - Indian
This is the classic Indian matchlock musket, seeing use from the early 17th to the mid 19th century during the Mutiny of 1857/58 and somewhat later on the North West Frontier. This would have been carried by native troops (both by foot and horse) in the service of the local princes and nobility.

Oil painting of a Napoleonic encampment - French
This is a dance scene from the early years of the 1st Empire. The figure on the left in red trousers is a trooper in the 7th Hussars; the central figure perhaps represents a corporal of Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard in undress uniform; the figure on the right in a grey overcoat possibly represents a member of the Garde Nationale.

Tap action, double-barrelled flintlock pistol - French
This is a direct copy of an English design, almost certainly made in France, the piquet work on the butt being typically French, with the early Liege proof marks, in use up to 1816 when they were changed to a letter punch within a circle. The French rarely copied English designs, so this is an interesting pistol.
