A Trio of Collectibles Comprising a Decorative Sword Wall Plaque, a Novelty Pistol-Form Aneroid Barometer, and a Prismatic Military-Style Compass - This lot features three decorative and functional items of military and nautical interest. The first item is a wall-hanging display consisting of two crossed decorative scimitars mounted on a shield-shaped wooden plaque covered in red felt. The swords feature curved, flared blades with etched foliate patterns on the flats and ornate cast white metal hilts with scrollwork crossguards and pommels. A central cast metal armorial crest displays a crowned shield flanked by animal supporters, possibly lions or griffins. The swords are secured with brown leather straps. The second item is a wall-mounted aneroid barometer housed within a decorative cast metal frame shaped as two crossed flintlock pistols. The frame is finished in a gilded or brass colour with black grips. The circular barometer dial is protected by glass and features markings for Stormy, Rain, Change, Fair, and Very Dry. The third item is a prismatic military-style compass in a black-finished metal case, resembling the British Mark III pattern. It includes a hinged lid with a circular sighting window and a liquid-filled internal card marked with cardinal directions and a 360-degree scale. Plaque width: 19 inches.
