The auction house’s description

Donley Auctions presents an extraordinary catalog spanning centuries of tactical evolution, craftsmanship, and historic milestones. From heavy cavalry armor and Mughal-era edged weapons to Civil War relics, vintage military timepieces, and rare World War II optics, this carefully curated sale brings together pieces of immense historical depth and captivating provenance.

Encompassing centuries of conflict, exploration, and pageantry, the auction showcases an impressive breadth of categories designed for serious historians and collectors. Bidders will discover magnificent antique armor and helmets—such as the French Bourbon Restoration-era heavy cavalry armor set in Lot 2000—alongside historic swords, bayonets, and daggers. The selection features authentic Civil War and Indian Wars artifacts, period engravings, and prints like the 1859 Washington and Lafayette at Mount Vernon engraving in Lot 2002. Furthermore, the catalog extends deeply into vintage military timepieces and optics, highlighted by the 1941 Hamilton 4992B navigational gimbals watch in Lot 2194 and the precision WWII German 10×80 flak binoculars on tripods in Lots 2144 and 2145, alongside vintage uniforms, helmets, web gear, commemorative medals, badges, signal cannons, and training ordnance.
