15th century, Lancastrian supporters collar comprising pewter badges of Esses, 11mm x 7mm (24), each of an openwork letter S with a stud behind for attachment to leather, at the ends are two simple brass rings connected by a lozenge shaped hook. Generally fine, the badges have been mounted into a modern leather collar £200-£300 --- Provenance: Found at Nether Heyford in Northamptonshire July 1991 from a trench dug approximately 14 inches in depth and recorded with John Cherry at the British Museum. XRF analyser test results show 95% Tin with traces of Lead, Copper and Iron. Collars formed from Esses were popular from the 14th century as a badge of office or rank. John of Gaunt in 1389 was wearing a collar of Esses after his return from Spain, one theory is that the double Esses stood for Saint Simplicius. a Roman senator who became a martyr in 287 AD. Richard II, the nephew of John of Gaunt also wore a collar of Esses as a compliment to him. The Lancastrian kings Henry IV, V and Henry VI gave their supporters pewter collars made up links of the letter “S” (Museum of London A295).

A rare and impressive Victorian Livery collar of the ‘Esses’ in 9 carat gold, 113g, unmarked, comprising sixteen stylised S’s linked in groups of four, separated by central crowned floral badge of the United Kingdom with heraldic symbols of England, Scotland and Ireland, combined with scroll inscribed ‘DIEU ET MON DROIT’, and three Beaufort portcullises, the central of these with push clip clasp, overall length 49cm, contained in its original domed velvet-lined case, 21cm diameter, the interior lid lined in white silk with maker’s details ‘J. W. BENNETT, GOLDSMITH & WATCHMAKER, 16, LLOYD SQUARE, W.C. MASONIC ORDERS EXECUTED.’, several minor test marks, the case with scuffs and signs of wear, otherwise generally good very fine £2,000-£3,000 --- The Lancastrian Collar of Esses was introduced in the late 1300s, but revived by Henry VII in 1845. As an important piece of the late-medieval livery system, the collar was a prestigious symbol of royal power. It would only be awarded to the rank of esquire and above. The ‘S’ has been widely research, possibly representing a combination of saintete (sanctity), sagesse (wisdom), and seigneurie (lordship). However, Soverayne, meaning Sovereign is the most supported, especially in relation to Henry IV. The Portcullis was the Badge of John Beaufort, Marquees of Dorset & Somerset, the son of John Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and great-grandfather of Henry VII. Henry adopted the symbol and it was used by the first and second Tudor dynasties. Presently, the portcullis is crowned, officially making it a royal symbol and can be found in the Palace of Westminster. The design in which the central link or hanging badge depicts the Crowned Floral Badge is reminiscent of the Esses Collar of the Sergeant-at-Arms. The company of J. W. Bennett located in Lloyd Square was destroyed in the Second World War, along with all associated archives.

A fine WW1 Mention in Dispatches, and WW2 Commander of the British Empire medal group, awarded to Captain Robert Charles Couldrey of the Royal Field Artillery, plus other associated items. To include: a full size medal set mounted on a bar with the British War Medal, Victory Medal with Oak Leaf, the 1935 Jubilee Medal, and the 1937 Coronation Medal (the WW1 medals named to Capt R.C.Couldrey). Also, a silver gilt and enamel C.B.E, with case of issue for Garrard & Co, and original neck ribbons, and a cased silver gilt Order of the Nile 3rd Class by Lattes of Cairo, carrying Egyptian hallmarks for both silver and gold (the suspension ring is gold). Also included are a corresponding set of miniatures set on a bar, 2 WW1 Princess Mary tins, one of which was Captain Couldrey’s, and another belonging to his brother, Captain Villiers Heatly Couldrey of the Royal Sussex Regiment, various pieces of early 20th century paperwork, early passports for himself and his wife, a WW1 carved wooden Royal Artillery plaque (signed by various officers), a WW2 era diary, badges, buttons, a photograph of Capt Couldrey in the uniform of an Egyptian Army Officer, a 1933 photograph album from Suakim, and a ladies first type O.B.E belonging to his mother-in-law, Mrs Lucy Ida Blackley, who’s award was gazetted on March 30th 1920. In amongst the belongings is also a bronze issued Khedive’s Sudan Medal 1896-1908, which appears to have been ground dug, given how pitted it is. Notes: Captain Robert Charles Couldrey (born June 5th 1890), first appeared in the London Gazette in December 1915 upon his promotion to 2nd Lieutenant as part of the East Lancastrian Brigade. His WW1 medal index card confirms the award of the pair, and that he first disembarked for service in September 1916. Captain Couldrey was seconded to the Egyptian army in the latter part of WW1, and the included photograph shows his wearing an Egyptian army uniform, complete with the traditional fez - this will date to the early 1920’s as he only has his 2 WW1 medals at this point. In the post WW1 era became Controller General of the Sudan War Supply Board A further entry in the London Gazette in November 1929 granted Couldrey the insignia of the 4th class Order of the Nile, and by November 1937 this was upgraded to the 3rd class Order of the Nile. During WW2 he was further decorated with Commander of the British Empire civil division, with this announcement appearing in the London Gazette in January 1942, this was again for his work with the Sudan War Supply Board. According to a newspaper obituary, Couldrey was part of the organisation team set up to direct the reconstruction of Germany in the post WW2 era. Further mentions in dispatches followed during WW2, with mentions in 1941 and 1942. Interestingly, and seldom seen, is his second mentioned in dispatches oak leaf emblem fixed on his miniature medal group. As he was not entitled to WW2 campaign medals, the oak leaf has been attached to a plain dark blue ribbon which is squarely positioned in the middle of the group.
