Juz 25 from a large 30-part Qur'an, Provincial Mamluk or Ilkhanid, 14th centuryArabic manuscript on paper, 31ff., with 5ll of muhaqqaq per page, fully vocalised, gold and polychrome illuminated header and large lotus flower marginal roundels to opening folio, gilt verse markers, rebound using earlier boards from another manuscript, margins renewed and extensive paper repairs, Folio 44 x 31 cm.Provenance: Ex Schøyen Collection MS 4468, offered with four other volumes from the same set at Sotheby’s as Lot 405 on 27 October 2020; Sam Fogg, London, 2000.The cataloguing note in the Sotheby's sale above states a number of folios are later replacements using European watermarked paper, probably nineteenth century Italian. Among the watermarks are 'Ranie... Bonazzi', 'AC' and a device consisting of two opposing crescents surmounted by three stars within a serrated domed frame.This monumental manuscript is part of a group of ten surviving parts from a single set, with 19th-century paper repairs, restoration, and replacement folios, all with similarly enigmatic bindings. The Ilkhanid attribution of these bindings is optimistic - given the condition of the textblocks, it seems more likely that a 19th-century owner used boards from a similarly monumental Mamluk Qur’an to renew this manuscript. Folio, 5ll of muhaqqaq per page, fully vocalised, with remnants of illuminated frames on opening page, gilt verse markers, rebound using earlier boards from another manuscript. Margins renewed and extensive paper repairs. Ex Schøyen Collection MS 4468, offered with four other volumes from the same set at Sotheby’s as Lot 405 on 27 October 2020.

Scarce Second World War Caterpillar Club badge and related ephemera to W/O. Harold 'Harry' William Paar.On 29th December 1943 Sergeant Navigator Harold Paar climbed into an unfamiliar Halifax bomber with an unfamiliar mid-upper gunner in the aircraft. The omens of disaster present (as Harry Paar records in his own account). The warning signs continued once the crew were in the air, the mid upper turret was inoperable, and the aircraft refused to climb above 16,000ft, (the usual operational height was 18,000ft). As W/O Paar recalls with a sense of foreboding- being the odd one out could be fatal!The crew conferred on what was to be done next. Whilst they could have justifiably turned back to base, the crew bravely decided to carry on their mission regardless, flying for around 4 hours east towards the capital of the Reich- Berlin. Now Paar’s Halifax was above its target, released its bombs and was struck by 'one lousy shell'.The shell burst and caused significant damage to the aircraft. One engine caught fire, was extinguished, caught again and then one by one three of the engines stopped, leaving a sole engine shaking the plane to pieces. Quickly the pilot announced to the crew ''We can't make it back, chaps, everyone out quickly''.Harry Paar records his journey out of the aircraft, he pressed the destruct buttons on the radar set, he opened the hatch below his feet and lowered himself into the open hatch. Then he was sucked out by the Windstream, neatly and without fuss. At 20:17 hours on 29th December 1943, the silk canopy above opened, and the great black Halifax yawed away into the night. Navigator Paar found himself alone with the stars and clouds, the occasional banging of the guns below and the singing of a gentle wind. He recalls ‘‘I lived, and that, for the moment, was enough’’.Once on the ground Harry Paar was captured and later found himself in the Stalag IVB Prisoner of War camp, where he remained until the camp was liberated.Included within the lot is the original gold Caterpillar badge engraved on the reverse to ' W/O. H. W. Paar', the original Caterpillar Club laminated membership card, a photograph of Harold Paar with his crew, dated on reverse 1st November 1943 and his original Royal Air Force Service and Release Book, his original Prisoner of War identification card, summary of the air operations on the night of 29th December 1943 and a copy of his hand typed account 'The Memorable 29th' dated 17th December 1971. A group of cloth uniform badges, both allied and Luftwaffe, a silver and enamel RAF sweetheart brooch and a small group of photographs of the camp and currency. A fascinating snapshot into life in RAF bomber command in the Second World War.Provenance: By family descent

1903 All-Ireland Football Championship The Kingdom's First Football All-Ireland Medal: G.A.A. 1903, Football, a 9ct gold Celtic Cross design Medal, the obverse with pierced center and harp overlay and 'Eire' across an inscribed 'Cumann Luith Cleas Gaedhail,' the reverse inscribed '1903 - All Ireland Football Championship, won by Kerry,' hallmarked. (1) * In the 17th staging of the competition, Kerry, under the captaincy of Thady O'Gorman, beat London (captained by Sam Maguire) on a score line of 0.11 to 0.3 in front of 10,000 at Jones' Road, to claim their First All-Ireland Title. Note: The First All-Ireland Football Final was played in 1887 but it took sixteen years for Kerry to win their First Title in 1903. By then, Dublin had won eight finals and within forty years Kerry had surpassed them, and now held a comfortable lead. For the first twenty years club teams represented their respective counties after winning the county championship in the All-Ireland series. Kerry's first All-Ireland championship was in 1892 when the Laune Rangers, captained by J.P. O'Sullivan were beaten by Dublin in a controversial final. Football participation in Kerry declined in the 1890s because of economic depression, mass emigration and young men playing "foreign games". But in 1903 an effort was made in the county to revive Gaelic football. Kerry player and secretary of the county board Austin Stack suggested that the county team shouldn't be just club representatives and said they should select the best players in the county. So the 1903 team comprised 8 players from the strong Tralee Mitchels club, 6 from Dr Crokes, 2 Castleisland and 1 from Cahirsiveen. For the 1903 season there were 17 players on a team, whereas before 1892 a team had 21 players and in 1913 the number on a team was reduced to 15 players. Kerry began their championship run in June 1903 by beating Waterford, Clare and Cork to win their second Munster final 1-7 to 0-4 in October. In the semi-final Kerry easily beat Mayo 2-7 to 0-4 to advance to the "Home Final". July 23, 1905 saw the first of a three game epic All-Ireland final with Kildare in Thurles. Unfortunately this game did not finish after Kerry supporters invaded the pitch before the end of the game and it had to be replayed. These games were an instant success attracting huge numbers to witness fast, skillful, and attractive football. The replay was a titanic battle fought on the hallowed turf of the Athletic Grounds in Cork on August 27, 1905. A record 12,000 fans watched as it ended in a draw. The third and deciding game on the banks of the Lee was played on Oct 15, 1905. The Kerry team was the comfortable winner of the Home Final with a score of 8-2 over Kildare. The game was enjoyed by over 20,000 fans and the GAA was now coming of age. In the early 1900s there was an Away Final. The All-Ireland champions played the All-England champions. The English football representatives were London Hibernians captained by Sam Maguire. The game was played in Jones Road now Croke Park on November 12, 1905. 10,000 watched as John McCarty of Kilkenny refereed the game. Kerry won 11-3 for their first All-Ireland senior football championship. Kerry played four games to get to the final and played four All-Ireland finals to decide the eventual winners. Kerry, captained by Austin Stack, beat Dublin in the All-Ireland championship in July 1906. It was Kerry's first time beating Dublin in championship football. Kildare won the final in June 1907, taking another two years to run off the championship. In the 1905 final, Kerry wore red jerseys with green cuffs and green collars, the colours of Tralee Mitchels. Kildare, the Lily Whites, wore their traditional all white uniform. They even painted their boots white. The captain of the 1903 Kerry team was Thady Gorman Tralee and he played along side his twin brother James, they were the first twins to play in an All-Ireland final. J.P. O'Sullivan was the trainer of that Kerry team, which included the great Dick Fitzgerald after whom the stadium in Killarney is named for. Also on that team was Austin Stack whose name was given to the stadium in Tralee and at the Killorglin football field there is a monument dedicated to J.P. O'Sullivan. This is great recognition for three great men who were essential to the team that won Kerry its first All-Ireland title. The Kildare players were recognised by the Central Council of the GAA and were presented with a set of gold medals in recognition of these three encounters with Kerry. Sam Maguire, who played with London in the Away Final in 1903, died in 1927 and is remembered as the eponym of the Sam Maguire Cup, given to the All-Ireland Senior Champions of Gaelic football. Sam was first presented to All-Ireland football winners Kildare in 1928. More about Sam Maguire can be found on his wikipedia page. No big trophies in 1903 but, your first win is special, so these trailblazers, pioneers and ground breakers take a special place in football history. It is important that we do not allow Kerry's first All-Ireland victory to be lost in the realms of mythology. Ciarrai Abu!
