Some of the item descriptions are amusing.

Link to the catalogues

I will be interested to see what happens when the scrap metal auction and the Staghound auction finish and the photos are identical. The entire auction collection seems to have been temporarily pulled once already.

Appalling is a more appropriate description, methinks…

Also, going to the landing page, not all lots are shown. As far as I can see there are 1,003 in all, but “view auction lots” (https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/Auct...&pgn=1&pgs=100) only seems to show 64?

Default What a shame

It’s always a shame to see a fellow enthusiast’s lifetime collection broken up and sold off, but so much sadder that the auctioneers didn’t seem to even bother having many of the lots correctly identified.

Whoever is currently bidding on the scrap metal lot is in for a hell of a shock when they find out they are only getting the steel on the pallet and not the Staghound in the pics 😳

RIP Rod

Good luck bidders

It all seems to happen like this to the best of collections eventually.
Just remember , Us overseas bidders need to apply to the DOD for a permit to export out of Australia , which is fairly straight forward , as they do not seem too concerned about saving their heritage these days. Cheers.

Amazing collection, and certainly a yardstick of Rod's enthusiasm.

I do note that so many of the lots are poorly described, with very small photos or the items still partially wrapped.


There are a few smaller items I will be bidding on, but does anybody know if Lloyds will ship out of Australia? If not, is there anyone on this site who will act as middleman on purchases for me and receive then forward the items? Unfortunately we may be bidding on some of the same things. As they say, no friends at an auction.

I see the extra pics of the Staghound are now removed and the price has been reset to $1

Default Movable Cultural Heritage Permits

Rob et al,

Some, possibly many, of the items listed will need to obtain a Movable Cultural Heritage export permit before export from Australia.

See Part 9 of the Regulations at https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2018L01710

Mike

The Staghound will need some work.

Hanno: Go to all auctions, then look towards the bottom and there are 10 packages of auctions related to this estate. Some are over 500 items, some are less.

Default Not the Aust version

Hanno,

Ref your post 16: certainly not the Australian trials 17/25-pdr, despite having an Australian-marked breech ring.

Mike

Thanks Mike. Other than a vague description “World War 2 artillery cannon, stamped GR Ordnance Factory Australia, 17PR I (Aust)” and a generic text about the Pheasant, there is not much to go by. I suspect it is a mock-up made from a 25-pdr mount and 17-pdr gun.

Looks like a Pheasant: https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotD...6&pgn=1&pgs=15

Mock-up or original?
