Important Information for Buyers

All Lots are offered subject to Charles Miller Ltd.s Conditions of Business and to reserves. The Conditions of Business for Buyers are published at the end of the catalogue. Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual hammer price of a lot may well be higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed starting prices. A Buyers Premium of 20% is applicable to all lots in this sale. Excepting lots sold under Temporary Import Rules which are marked with the symbol (see below), the Buyers Premium is subject to VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%). Lots offered for sale under the auctioneers margin scheme and VAT on the Buyers Premium is payable by all buyers. Lots marked with the symbol have been imported from outside the European Union (EU) to be sold at auction under Temporary Import Rules. When released to buyers within the EU, including the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay VAT at the rate of 5% on the hammer price. The Buyers Premium will be subject to the standard VAT rate at 20%. Buyers outside the EU will normally be eligible to obtain a refund in respect of VAT, upon satisfactory documentary evidence of exportation. Further information on this matter is available on request. Charles Miller Ltd. will be pleased to execute bids on behalf of those clients unable to attend the sale in person, subject to our Conditions of Business. All bids must be submitted in writing in good time and lots will always be purchased as cheaply as possible (depending on any other bids received, reserves and competition in the saleroom.) This service is offered free of charge. Charles Miller Ltd. can supply quotations for shipping of purchases, including transit insurance and VAT refund administration fees, and will assist in the application for any export licences which may be required. Buyers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and with any local import requirements.
For lots imported from outside the EU, the following VAT symbols are used:  For items over 100 years old: Import VAT of 5% payable on whole hammer price, less premium (a further 20% is payable on the premium.)  For items under 100 years old: Import VAT of 20% payable on whole hammer price, less premium (a further 20% is payable on the premium.)  For lots sold from within the EU, if the client is VAT registered and not using the Auctioneers Special Scheme, full VAT at 20% is levied on the hammer price and premium. ARTISTS RESALE RIGHT (DROIT DE SUITE) If a lot is affected by this right it will be identified with the symbol next to the lot number. The buyer agrees to pay to Charles Miller an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artists collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer Price is 1,000 Euro or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euro per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the portion of the Hammer Price (in Euro) 4.00% 3.00% 1.00% 0.50% 0.25% up to 50,000 between 50,000.01 and 200,000 between 200,000.01 and 350,000 between 350,000.01 and 500,000 in excess of 500,000

Front cover: lot 93 (detail) Back cover: lots 193-241 (selection)

Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

Model Scales Where possible indications are given of model scales, in some instances these are provided by individual modellers, or worked out from measurements. Measurements These are provided in order of Height x Width x Depth, unless otherwise stated. Where it is not possible to separate the model from the case, overall measurements are taken from the widest point of each surface. Condition Condition may be mentioned in italics within brackets at the end of a description; detailed condition reports may be had from CM Ltd. prior to sale and are for reference only. Clients should satisfy themselves in person wherever possible as to the condition of a lot, or ask an agent to inspect it for them. All statements provided by Charles Miller Ltd. are honestly given, however our staff are not trained conservators or restorers and accordingly any statement given will not be exhaustive. PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED SPECIES (CITES) An export licence issued by the Department of the Environment will be required for the export of any item made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) animal material such as ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, rosewood and lignum vit etc., and this may take up to eight weeks to obtain. Clients are advised to check with the regulating body in the country of importation regarding any possible restrictions on the importation of items within this category some countries have an absolute ban on the importation of certain materials. For example, the U.S. generally prohibits the importation of articles containing species that it has designated endangered or threatened if those articles are less than 100 years of age.

Balletts cruise took him to the Carolinas and Bahamas where he died in September 1749. It is presumed the anomaly is a simple clerical one as often happens at years turn.

Pallas was a 32-gun 5th Rate of 1804, Captained by George Monke. She was returning from a cruise off Norway and heading for Leith. With poor visibility and frequent showers, lime burners kilns at Dunbar were mistaken for the Bell Rock lighthouse. Altering to the wrong course, she ran hard aground and in a few minutes had shipped twelve feet of water. Cutting the fore and main masts away to landward, the ships company scrambled over the wreckage to the shore. The Captain and Pilot were severely reprimanded, and the Master, David Glegg, ordered never to serve in that capacity again.

THE WRECK OF H.M.S. ASSOCIATION Although the War with France over the Spanish succession was still at its height, as the summer of 1707 drew to its close, the bulk of the British Mediterranean Fleet prepared to return to England for the Winter. Sailing orders were issued on 29th September and thirteen warships, including the Flagship Association, set sail from Gibraltar under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, C. in C. Mediterranean. It had been an eventful year and the eet, in close co-operation with the Duke of Savoy, had taken an active part in the combined attack on Toulon. Even though the nal assault had not been a success, many French ships had been destroyed and the town heavily bombarded. Such action had necessitated retting and the eet was more than ready for the security of Spithead. On the voyage northwards the squadron encountered exceptionally severe weather with the result that on 22nd October the Admiral ordered the eet to heave-to and take soundings. A lengthy conference concluded the position to be in the latitude of Ushant, near the coast of France, but in actual fact the appalling weather had driven them one hundred miles west of this point, and only two hours sailing time south of the Isles of Scilly. In the mistaken belief that the clear Channel lay ahead of them, the agship herself led the way into the storm. Daylight faded, the weather worsened; the compact line of the ships slowly dispersed until at about 8.20p.m., without warning the Association struck the Outer Ledge of the Gilstone Reef. Despite the fact that the Admirals barge had time to get away, there were no survivors, and the ship broke up and sank within minutes. Three other vessels -Romney, Eagle and Firebrand -- also foundered in the same vicinity and about two thousand men perished alongside Sir Cloudesley Shovell. Within the last forty years, all four of these wrecks have been located and carefully explored; numerous artifacts, as well as a signicant quantity of coins, have been recovered.

77. H.R.H. KING WILLIAM IVS PERSONAL SAILING TELESCOPE the tapering mahogany main tube with 2in. objective lens and single draw signed J&W Watkins/Charing Crofs/LONDON and futher inscribed This glafs belonged to/His Majesty William the 4th/when he was at Sea/was given by him/to Lord Adolphus Fitz Clarence/who gave it to/Berkeley Paget/1831, the eyepiece with dust-slide (missing lens cap) -- 25in. (64cm.) closed
Jeremiah and Walter Watkins only worked between 1794 and 1798 from 5 Charing Cross, London, the partnership ending with Walters death. Stocking a full range of optical and philosophical instruments of high quality, they were telescope makers by Royal Appointment to the Duke and Duchess of York and the Duke of Clarence, later William IV. The lot offered here bears a striking resemblance to the instrument held by the Duke whilst wearing his full dress naval uniform in the famous portrait painted by Sir Martin Archer Shee, circa 1800. Lord Adolphus FitzClarence (1802-1856) was the seventh child (fourth son) of the happy-but-illegitimate family of ve sons and ve daughters created by the Duke of Clarence (later William IV) and the comic actress Dorothea Jordan at Bushy Park, Middlesex. Adolphus was sent to sea at the age of eleven, receiving his commission in 1821. In December 1826 he was made captain and had several commands before his fathers coronation and thereafter he commanded the Royal Yacht until 1853 when he was promoted to ag rank. He died unmarried on 17th May 1856 at Newburgh Priory, Yorkshire. The Hon Berkeley Paget (1780-1842), a politician, was the younger brother of Henry Paget (Marquis of Anglesey); Sir Arthur Paget; General Sir Edward Paget; and Sir Charles Paget, another naval ofcer who commanded the Royal Yacht prior to William and was given a ne telescope by George IV (please refer to sale 004 lot 109, 21 Oct 2009 in these rooms). It is presumed that Berkeley made the acquaintance of Lord Adolphus through his elder brother although in his own right he was a successful politician serving as MP for Anglesey from 1807 and later Milborne Port in 1820, and was a Lord of the Treasury between 1810-1826. Marrying well, he was well-connected in society and between this and his other illustrious brothers, was no doubt well acquainted with the Royal Family.

This gun was a light 47mm. naval gun introduced in 1886 to defend against new small fast vessels such as torpedo boats, and later submarines. It was also used ashore as a coast defence gun and later occasionally as an anti-aircraft gun. A surviving example exists in Hong Kong where it has long been deployed as a noon day gun.

124 (detail) 124. A RARE EMIGRANTS JOURNAL, WRITTEN ON PASSAGE TO NEW ZEALAND, 1863/4 kept by John Grifth and written in a bold, orid hand in a chatty and informative prose on eighty sides of folded laid paper watermarked for Harris & Tremlett 1843-4, commencing London/ Gravesend Sunday 20th December 1863 aboard the Indian Empire: and comprising a witty and articulate account of life on board a square-rigged emigrant ship: having little to do, I sit down to write an item in this book. I.. found my bunk in a small house on deck... tted up to accommodate 14 adults.. , descriptions of his fellow passengers, accommodation, rations and activities, the last entry made for Wednesday, Feb 10th 1864 at Lat 39 S, Long 14 W, the pages stitched together with tarred twine and covered with jute sacking -- 9 x 6in. (23.5 x 15cm.); together with a typed transcript, notes on the Indian Empire, contained in a tted cardboard box
John Grifth was 20 years old when he boarded the 1,351 ton Indian Empire and makes an engaging companion for the two month span of this journal. During the voyage the ship was stricken with fever and Grifth records several deaths, including the head cook and a fellow passenger. Shortly after celebrating his 21st birthday, the manuscript stops as he himself had succumbed and died, being buried at sea. On arrival in New Zealand, the ship was quarantined and it seems the Captain took it on himself to see his possessions, including this rare journal, were returned to his family in Bangor, North Wales. This voyage is recorded in Sir Henry Bretts study of 19th Century sail White Wing, Brett Publishing, Auckland, New Zealand, 1924. (2 Vols)

137. A MID 19TH-CENTURY FOUNDERS WOODEN SIGNAL GUN TEMPLATE MODEL turned from teak and comprising a 23in. four-stage barrel, cascabel and trunnions, solid muzzle with central arbor -- 26in. (68cm.) overall
Traditional gun casting methods used unique positive (or male) templates which were destroyed as part of the process. This later template was probably used to create the more modern boxed or split mould, so that after forming the hollow mould, this was split, being contained in two heavy iron boxes, to release the model or pattern for reuse. This saved time and money, since the model could be used repeatedly, and allowed identical sets to be produced. The central cone, which would have been created with this model, gives a founder a starting point to bore the barrel.

142 142. AN HISTORICALLY INTERESTING 1:16 SCALE WORKING DEMONSTRATION MODEL OF THE TUNNELLING SHIELD USED TO EXCAVATE THE ROTHERHITHE TUNNEL AND INSPECTED BY THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AT THE OPENING ON 12 JUNE, 1908 constructed in aluminium and brass with hydraulic plate-delivery piston arms supported in front of excavation platforms with removable guards, loosely supported on an ebonised wooden base with plate inscribed MODEL OF THE TUNNELLING SHIELD / 30 FEET 8 INCHES IN DIAMETER / USED IN DRIVING THE / ROTHERHITHE TUNNEL / UNDER THE RIVER THAMES. / PRESENTED BY / J. HENRY PRICE / ASSOC. M. INST. C.E. -- 24 x 23in. (62.3 x 58.8cm.)
Designed by Maurice Fitzmaurice (Engineer to the London County Council and built by contractors Price & Reeves between 1904 and 1908 at a cost of about 1 million (and eighteen months ahead of schedule), the tunnel was built to alleviate congestion which had not been dealt with by the opening of the tunnel at Dartford. Excavated partly using a tunnelling shield and partly through cut-and-cover methods, it was the largest of its kind then built and the rst to require a shield to turn a corner -- the entrance arches of the tunnel are in fact the cutting edges of the original tunnelling shield, forming in effect a loading gauge. Consisting of a single bore 4,860 feet 48 feet below the high-water level of the Thames, with a maximum depth of 75 feet below the surface, the Rotherhithe Tunnel was designed towards the end of the horse-drawn era and so has characteristics the modern motorist nds perplexing, if not dangerous: It has a shallow gradient to cater for non-mechanised trafc which, prior to the London Barrier, was prone to ooding; the route includes nearly right-angled bends at the points where the tunnel goes under the river bed preventing horses from seeing daylight at the end of the tunnel too early which might make them bolt for the exit; and it now caters for 34,000 vehicles a day, vastly exceeding the designed quota of 2,600, creating one of Londons worst bottlenecks. However, notwithstanding these modern gripes, the opening in 1908 was, according to The Times, a rather glittering affair: The Prince and Princess left Marlborough House at a quarter to 3 in an open landau, which was drawn by four horses, with postilions and outriders. Their Royal Highnesses were accompanied by an escort of Household Cavalry... [they] proceeded.. by way of the Mall, Westminster-bridge, St. Georges-road, New Kent-road, Tower-bridge-road, Spa-road, Jamaica-road, and Union-road. Large crowds assembled in the streets, which were gay with bunting and mottoes of welcome; and their Royal Highnesses given a most enthusiastic reception. After the formalities had been observed, they proceeded through the tunnel and a reception in a special pavilion: Inside the room was a model of the shield used in the construction of the tunnel, the working of which the chief engineer explained to the Prince and Princess... Returning via Stepney, the Royal procession enjoyed a similar turnout to that seen on arrival.

145. A REMARKABLE PRIVATE ALBUM OF PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY CAPTAIN W.T. TURNER, INCLUDING VIEWS TAKEN ABOARD THE CUNARDERS MAURETANIA AND LUSITANIA apparently dating between 1904 and 1910 and comprising approximately four-hundred private views taken by and of Turner, most pasted along top edge and annotated with characters and locations in pencil to reverse, around half taken aboard various commands, mostly Mauretania, but with several hitherto unseen views from Lusitania. Also interesting scenes taken opportunistically, including several views of the wreck of the U.S.S. Maine; several dockyard views of luggage being loaded; the boat train dining car; Turner posing with various passengers or relations, often wearing his hat or tunic, or of Turner taking a sight with his sextant. Also a contemporary promotional brochure for Mauretania and some views of Lusitania taken from Mauretania, bound between soft leather covers embossed CAPT. W.T. TURNER / R.M.S.

145: Lusitania departing from Liverpool for New York, photographed from Mauretania
Not intended to be of interest to any but himself and family, this album captures a rare view of the private side of a liner captain from the Golden Age Frequently ragging around, Turner is often shot with a pretty girl, who is wearing his hat, or lying in a hammock. He was clearly a happy man and his sense of humour is much in evidence. One of the more striking shots is a view of Turner climbing the rigging of the main mast of Lusitania and holding his camera, the next view is the shot of the funnels and deck taken from that location. These rare views are unknown and unpublished, providing a wealth of interesting material about Cunards most tragic Captain. Made the scapegoat for the tragedy that overwhelmed the liner on 7th May 1915 when the German submarine U-20 torpedoed Lusitania - despite precautions, and a universal belief that the great liners speed and size would save her, she sank in under 20 minutes with the loss of 1,200. Although Turner survived, his hitherto successful career was over and the authorities, perhaps hiding their own shortcomings in not providing a naval escort, roundly blamed him.

Contained in the original spherical wooden shskin-covered case, the interior laid with two sets of twelve hand-coloured engraved unvarnished celestial half-gores and two polar calottes, a cartouche for A Correct Globe with ye New Constellations of Dr Halley & Co, the equatorial and equinoctial colure graduated in degrees, the ecliptic graduated in days of the houses of the Zodiac, the stars to six orders of magnitude and the constellations depicted by mythical beasts and gures, the rims of the case painted red, with two brass hook eyes Literature: van der KROGT, P ., Old Globes in the Netherlands (Utrecht, 1984) LAMB, T., & COLLINS, J., (ed.), The World In Your Hands (London, 1994) SCHMIDT, R., Globe Labels. An Addition to the Catalogue The World In Your Hands (Vienna, 1995)
Van der Krogt (stating that: The smallest globe [by Adams, i.e. 2-inch] is unsigned) illustrates and describes a similar globe as Ada 1 (Cooks rst voyage ... is indicated with the legend Cooks Track 1760) mounted on a tellurian signed by George Adams and describes another three similar unsigned globes (Ada 2-4) mounted in an armillary sphere, tellurian (both signed by George Adams) and a planetarium signed by Nairne & Blunt. A similar globe is described as item 5.16 in The World In Your Hands: This anonymous pocket globe has often been ascribed to the work of George Adams Jnr since an armillary sphere signed by Adams uses this pocket globe. However, recent research has shown that the origin of these gores is Hermann Molls pocket globe of 1710 The label of 5.16 is illustrated by Schmidt (p. 3) and is the same as that on the present example. Item 5.13/5.14 would also seem to be similar: the terrestrial showing the track of Capt. Cooks rst voyages (1768-71 but incorrectly dated 1760) and the discoveries of his second and third voyages, i.e. New Caledonia, indicating that the globe was made in or after 1784 when Cook published his account of the third voyage . Given this rather confusing plethora of possible sources, one hypothesis could be that John Senex (who is described in The World In Your Hands as very much a rival to Hermann Moll) bought up Molls plates after his death in 1732. It is known that Senexs widow sold off his plates in 1755 and George Adams acquired the plates for the pocket globes Van der Krogt describes a tellurian using a Senex globe made by George Adams (Sen 1), so it could be that Adams used a re-engraved version of Molls globe, from Senexs stock, for the items Ada 1-4.

(12.7 x 12.7cm.)
Originally conceived as a pocket chronometer, this watch was adapted early in its life, possibly by John Roger Arnold, and placed in a marine case with gimbal mounts, this in turn has been cut down and turned into a mantel clock. Purchased several years ago without a key, it has not been run for many years and will require a service.

An interesting instrument and possibly a one-off, being needlessly complicated by having the objective set in an additional front draw (which was used later by many manufacturers as a shade slide, whilst keeping the lens xed to the main tube). Whilst the instrument has good magnication and focus, the eyepiece may lack a lens which would provide a wider eld of vision.

Probably Henry Gregory I who worked between 1744 and 1782 - the rm became Gregory & Son in 1776 and then formed partnerships with former apprentices including Gabriel Wright and William Gilbert. This sextant was probably an attempt to break into new markets, although with its ebony frame and huge radius, it still gives every appearance of an octant. The ability to divide ner scales accurately, thus allowing the frame to shrink, was already then in hand, with Jesse Ramsden publishing his description for a dividing engine in 1777.

An experimental class of fast boat that ultimately did not live up to expectations, the Bold class (Bold Pioneer and Bold Pathnder) were the rst to use gas turbines. Designed by the Director of Naval Construction at Bath, they had a LOA of 121ft, a Beam of 25ft-6in. with a Draught of 6ft-10in. The Main machinery of both vessels was 2 x Metro-Vick G2 Turbines, supplemented originally by 2 x Mercedes Diesel engines for cruising at 16 knots, driving 4 shafts. (The Mercedes engines later being changed for Napier Deltics). Sporting twin side-by-side funnels, both displacing 150 tons when fully loaded, they had a normal complement of 20. As Gun Boats they had 2 single mounts of 4.5ins (fore and aft) and a 40mm Bofors aft, and as Torpedo Boats, they had a 40mm Bofors on the forward mount with 4 x 21in Tubes. An omen may now be seen, as to the eventual perception of their failure, in that at the time of their respective launches, the Metro-Vick G2 Turbines were not ready, both craft being launched with the diesels only tted. The Metro-Vick G2 Turbines were never to be fully developed for marine installation and proved to be very troublesome in service, but when able to deliver, the craft could attain 43 knots. HMS Bold Pioneer was launched August 18th 1951 and scrapped in 1958. HMS Bold Pathnder was launched September 17th 1951 was sold to Messrs Pounds of Portsmouth for scrapping in 1962, (reportedly not completed until 1986).

H.M.S. Mars, a 74 gun Third Rate designed by Sir John Henslow in 1788, was built at Deptford and launched on 25 October 1794 for a total cost of 50,270. Although ordered and laid down whilst England was at peace, the long war with Revolutionary France had already begun by the time she was completed and was thus an extremely valuable addition to the eet as soon as she was commissioned for sea. Initially assigned to the formidable Channel Fleet, she was still serving in Home Waters when, on 12 April 1798, she sailed from St. Helens as part of Lord Bridports squadron bound for Brest. On 21 April, whilst patrolling in company with H.M.S. Ramillies (74), and two frigates, Mars sighted two enemy vessels, closely followed by a third French warship, to which they gave chase. The bigger Frenchman proved to be the 74-gun Hercule and, after three hours, Mars brought her to action in what was to prove a classic engagement between two perfectly matched adversaries. With Ramillies trailing behind due to a lost foretopmast, and the frigate Jason too far off to participate, the two opposing 74s became entangled thanks to fouled anchor cables and opened re at 10.30pm. After a merciless pounding lasting two hours, Hercule could stand it no longer and struck her colours shortly after midnight. Damage to both hulls was extensive, the ships starboard sides being burnt cinder black, whilst losses were high on each vessel including Mars commander Captain Alexander Hood. A nephew of both Lords Bridport and Hood, he was mortally wounded about twenty minutes into the action and died just as Hercule surrendered. Hercule herself was coaxed back into Plymouth, repaired at a cost of12,500, such was the damage inicted by Mars thunderous broadsides, and eventually absorbed into the Royal Navy under her own name. Mars went on to serve in the Lee Column at Trafalgar where her captain (George Duff) was killed with 28 others in the action. Thereafter, after a spell in the Baltic, Mars was laid up in 1812, tted as receiving ship at Portsmouth and broken up there in 1823.

Each lot is available for examination before sale. Bidders are responsible for carrying out examinations and research before sale to satisfy themselves over the condition of lots and accuracy of descriptions. (b)  All oral and/or written information provided to Bidders relating to lots, including descriptions in the catalogue, condition reports or elsewhere are statements of CMs opinion and not representations of fact. Estimates may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time at CMs absolute discretion. 4.

(b)  Subject to Condition 4(a), neither CM nor the Seller:(i)  is liable for any errors or omissions in any oral or written information provided to Bidders by CM, whether negligent or otherwise; (ii)  gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as such obligations can not be excluded by English law), other than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer (for which the Seller is solely responsible) under the Conditions of Business for Sellers; (iii)  accepts responsibility to Bidders for acts or omissions (whether negligent or otherwise) by CM in connection with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to the sale of any lot. (c)  Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against CM and/ or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price for the relevant lot. Neither CM nor the Seller shall be liable for any indirect or consequential losses. (d)  Nothing in Condition 4 shall exclude or limit the liability of CM or the Seller for death or personal injury caused by the negligent acts or omissions of CM or the Seller. 5.

(b)  Title in a lot will not pass to the Buyer until CM has received the Purchase Price in cleared funds. CM will generally not release a lot to a Buyer before payment. Earlier release shall not affect passing of title or the Buyers obligation to pay the Purchase Price, as above. (c)  The refusal of any licence or permit required by law, as outlined in Condition 6, shall not affect the Buyers obligation to pay for the lot, as per Condition 8(a). (d)  The buyer must arrange collection of lots within 10 working days of the auction. Purchased lots are at the Buyers risk from the earlier of (i) collection or (ii) 10 working days after the auction.

Charles Miller Ltds Authenticity Guarantee

If Charles Miller Ltd sells an item of Property which is later shown to be a counterfeit , subject to the terms below Charles Miller Ltd. will rescind the sale and return the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Charles Miller Ltd. for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price. The guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benet of the Buyer only and is non-transferable. Counterfeit means an item of Property that in Charles Miller Ltd.s reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue description for the Property. Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/or restoration and/or modication work (including, but not limited to, recolouring, tooling or repainting). Please note that this guarantee does not apply if either:(i)  the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conict of such opinions; or (ii)  the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in Charles Miller Ltd.s reasonable opinion); or (iii)  there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description. To claim under this guarantee the Buyer must:(i)  notify Charles Miller Ltd. in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii)  return the Property to Charles Miller Ltd. in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale. Charles Miller Ltd. has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Charles Miller Ltd. may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyers cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant eld and acceptable to Charles Miller Ltd. Charles Miller Ltd. shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Charles Miller Ltd. decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Charles Miller Ltd.
