The english term barbut (from the italian, barbuta) denotes a characteristically tall form of visorless helmet with narrow T- or Y-shaped face opening that was worn almost exclusively in Italy in the third quarter of the fifteenth century. This barbut is forged from a single plate of steel, its hemispherical skull rising to a sharp comb at the top and descending at the sides and back almost to the tops of the shoulders; the back of the helmet has an elegant profile that curves inward to follow the nape of the neck, then turns outward to form a short tail. The face opening is T-shaped and is reinfored by an applied band of iron held by decorative rosette rivets. The series of rivets encicling the middle of the bowl formerly secured a strap on the inside, to which was sewn a padded lining; below this, on either side, is a pair of rivets to secure the chin straps, now also lost.

 

This elegantly proportioned and gracefully shaped barbut demonstrates the virtuoso talent of the armorer. It should be kept in mind that the armorer forged the barbut from a single plate of steel, hammering the metal into shape while maintaining the protective thickness of the plate and smooth rounded glancing surfaces. Its beauty is thus integral with its protective function. Like most helmets of the fifteenth century, it was originally polished mirror bright, though a number of paintings and other works of art––such as the "birthplate" of Lorenzo de' Medici (now in the New-York Historical Society, The Bryan Collection) or the intarsia panels from Federigo da Montefeltro's study from Gubbio (acc. no. 39.153)––show barbuts covered with fabric, mounted at the edges with decorative borders, and surmounted by heraldic crests. Helmets decorated in this manner (see for example, acc. no. 29.158.15) are referred to in documents as alla Veneziana (in the Venetian manner) to denote the preference in Venice for collorfully decorated helmets such as these. This barbut has no holes for the attachment of such ornaments or crest, but nevertheless can be associated with Venice by the presence of a tiny mark in the form of the Lion of Saint Mark stamped on the left cheek. A total of six barbuts in the Metropolitan Museum are stamped with this mark, which is variously thought to be the ownership mark of the Venetian arsenal, or a customs control mark used in Venetian territory. This barbut is one of seven or eight, each bearing various armorers' marks, but all with the Lion of Saint Mark, that are said to have been discovered early in this century in Venetian territory, in the possession of Count Gino Cittadella, at Villa Saonara, near Padua.

 

Three armorer's marks are stamped into the metal at the rear of the helmet. The upper mark is formed of the letters XPO surmounted by an open crown, and a pair of marks below, each composed of the letters S Y beneath a split cross.

 

The marks are apparently unrecorded but are of a type generally recognized as Milanese. The letters incorporated into the marks are usually abbreviations of the armorer's Christian or family name. The master's mark on this barbut probably refers to a Christoforo (the Greek chi-rho- monogram––X P––stands for Christ, so that X P O can be read Christoforo). Many armorers with the name Christoforo are recorded in Milanese documents of the fifteenth century, including one Christoforo dei Seroni, mentioned in 1483. Whereas the last name of this armorer agrees with the second set of marks (the letters SY beneath a cross could plausibly be an abbreviation for Seroni), the recorded date for this armorer is considerably later than the dating of this barbut. Whether or not this helmet is an early work by Seroni or is by another armorer named Christoforo is subject for further speculation.

Il termine inglese barbut (dall'italiano, barbuta) denota una forma caratteristicamente alta di elmo senza visiera con una stretta apertura facciale a forma di T o Y che era indossato quasi esclusivamente in Italia nel terzo quarto del XV secolo. Questo barbut è forgiato da un'unica piastra d'acciaio, il suo cranio emisferico si eleva a cresta affilata nella parte superiore e scende ai lati e all'indietro fin quasi alla sommità delle spalle; la parte posteriore del casco ha un profilo elegante che si incurva verso l'interno per seguire la nuca, per poi girare verso l'esterno a formare una corta coda. L'apertura del viso è a forma di T ed è rinforzata da una fascia in ferro applicata trattenuta da rivetti a rosetta decorativa. La serie di rivetti che circondava il centro della ciotola fissava anticamente una cinghia all'interno, alla quale era cucita una fodera imbottita; al di sotto di questo, su entrambi i lati, vi è una coppia di rivetti per fissare i sottogola, anch'essi perduti.

 

Questo barbut dalle proporzioni eleganti e dalla forma graziosa dimostra il talento virtuoso dell'armiere. Va tenuto presente che l'armiere ha forgiato il barbut da un'unica piastra di acciaio, martellando il metallo in forma mantenendo lo spessore protettivo della piastra e le superfici lisce arrotondate. La sua bellezza è quindi parte integrante della sua funzione protettiva. Come la maggior parte degli elmi del XV secolo, era originariamente lucidato a specchio, anche se numerosi dipinti e altre opere d'arte, come la "tarta natale" di Lorenzo de' Medici (ora nella New-York Historical Society, The Bryan Collezione) o le tarsie dello studio eugubino di Federigo da Montefeltro (acc. n. 39.153) – mostrano barbut rivestiti in tessuto, montati ai bordi con bordure decorative, e sormontati da stemmi araldici.alla Veneziana (alla veneziana) per denotare la preferenza a Venezia per elmi multicolori come questi. Questo barbut non ha fori per il fissaggio di tali ornamenti o stemmi, ma ciò nonostante può essere associato a Venezia per la presenza di un minuscolo segno a forma di Leone di San Marco impresso sulla guancia sinistra. Un totale di sei barbut nel Metropolitan Museum sono marchiati con questo marchio, che è variamente pensato per essere il marchio di proprietà dell'arsenale veneziano, o un marchio di controllo doganale utilizzato nel territorio veneziano. Questo barbut è uno dei sette od otto, ciascuno recante vari marchi di armaiolo, ma tutti con il Leone di San Marco, che si dice sia stato scoperto all'inizio di questo secolo in territorio veneziano, in possesso del conte Gino Cittadella, a Villa Saonara, vicino a Padova.

 

Sul retro dell'elmo sono impressi tre segni di armiere. Il segno superiore è formato dalle lettere XPO sormontate da una corona aperta, e una coppia di segni sotto, ciascuno composto dalle lettere SY sotto una croce divisa.

 

I marchi sono apparentemente anonimi ma sono di un tipo generalmente riconosciuto come milanese. Le lettere incorporate nei marchi sono solitamente abbreviazioni del nome di battesimo o di famiglia dell'armiere. Il marchio del maestro su questo barma probabilmente si riferisce a un Christoforo (il greco chi-rho-monogram––XP––sta per Cristo, quindi XPO può essere letto Christoforo). Molti armaioli con il nome Christoforo sono registrati in documenti milanesi del XV secolo, tra cui uno Christoforo dei Seroni, citato nel 1483. Mentre il cognome di questo armaiolo concorda con la seconda serie di marchi (le lettere SY sotto una croce potrebbero essere plausibilmente un'abbreviazione per Seroni), la data registrata per questo armaiolo è notevolmente successiva alla datazione di questo barbut.

ÍTEM # 31: MINILP POWER RECORDS BATMAN VS RIDDLER

SINGLE POWER RECORDS BATMAN VS RIDDLER

Medidas: 18x18 cms.

Origen: Discos La Metralleta, Madrid

Precio: 1€

Ubicación actual: Sucursal I de Museo Pajero

Categoría: Rarorama

 

Bellísimo miniLP con una aventura narrada y dialogada de Batman y Robin enfrentándose al Riddler, y que responde al extraño título de If Music Be the Food of Death. Lanzado en una fecha indeterminada entre finales de los setenta y principios de los ochenta por Power Records, se trata de una aventura encantadoramente infantil, como cabe esperar. Compré este single por un mísero euro en la hace años mucho más delirante tienda madrileña de vinilos de segunda mano La Metralleta (cuando los vinilos eran basura para pajeros, no codiciados objetos de coleccionista), junto a otros productos de Power Records que ya les iré enseñando. Dos detalles hacen de este single una auténtica maravilla para fans del hombre murciélago: la autoclasificación del producto, humorísticamente inintencionada, como “Little LP”, y la fantástica portada del gran Neal Adams.

One of a large selection of wagon labels I have that were recovered from a derelict building at the former Faslane Junction, near Shandon, on the West Highland Line (WHL) in 1980.

 

This building served as the main control office for all arrivals and departures using Faslane Sidings and Faslane Port on the Gareloch.

This was a new piece of railway built in 1941 as a Military Railway using a new connection from the WHL to the above mentioned Faslane Port which by 1941 had been selected as 'Military Port No.1' , so selected as a safe port away from the Luftwaffe. The line was almost 3 miles long and descended steeply to sea level with gradients up to 1 in 49.

The port became fully operational in 1942 and was in Military use until 1946 when Military use of the port ceased.

There was seven exchange sidings at Faslane junction reputed to be able to hold 1000 wagons, however traffic levels were so high that additional sidings were built at Ardmore and Graigendoran on the approach to the WHL and the loop at Helensburgh Upper was extended to accommodate the longer trains on this busy section.

 

After the end of Military use the line was retained but the former double track section from Faslane Junction to the port was single lined. It saw regular use up to 1983 for trains of scrap metal from the ship breaking activities that the former Military Port was used for. Secretly it was also retained and maintained for strategic use as by this time part of the former Military Port had become Britain's home for the Polaris Nuclear Submarines and at that time rail connections to military installations was still regarded as of major importance. When the Lochside road, the A814, was upgraded in the 1960s the former level crossing at Belmont was replaced with an overbridge.

With the development of the former Shipbreaking area in the mid 1980s for the Trident Missile Submarine base the bridge was removed and new roads were built so ending any chance of the use of rail in a national emergency.

 

Living locally I was well aware of the 'Faslane Branch' and remember the Class 20 hauled Scrap Trains. The buildings , sidings and branch line were easily accessible to explore down as far as the overbridge and of course not venturing onto the WHL !

One day I was having a good look around the large building at the Junction . It was trashed inside and the glass in all the windows was broken but otherwise a lot of furniture remained as did some railway equipment. Downstairs there was a large room on the floor of which was a huge mound on paper. On closer examination these turned out to be wagon labels obviously removed from all arrivals, then threaded to a long piece of string and stored by hanging from the ceiling. With the passing of the times these had all perished and dropped to the floor forming this large mound. Realising their significance I 'rescued' as many as I could and these are just some of hundreds I have.

 

They form a time capsule of the activities of the railway during the war and the many locations that were involved in forwarding Coal, goods, mails and weapons etc to Faslane.

 

Some of the wagon labels show Craigendoran as the destination, some even state Shandon, but in all instances Faslane was the final destination.

 

With further detective work it would be possible to identify the ships or Convoys the assignments were destined for.

Teen boys were racing another car. The driver lost control, spun out and struck a pole. The rear seat passanger wasn't wearing a seat belt and was ejected out the rear windshield. All were transported to a local trauma center with various injuries.

Another successful photo just from taking my camera out with me when I go anywhere. Definitely makes this project easier.
