Introduction. From 2017-18 a sale of regimental artefacts took place.
Proceeds of the sale were credited to the RGBW Regimental Charities (RGBW RC).
The objects that did not sell are now offered for regimental sale. Many, but not all,
objects relate to Gloucestershire and Bristol. Such management is now overseen by
the RGBW Management Board (MB).
Background. The table within these notes provide a list of regimental
artefacts that remain available. Those wishing to purchase items should cross
reference the table with an electronic copy of the catalogue ‘Disposal of RGBW
Regimental Charities’ Artefacts’ (pages 1-82). Electronic copies of these notes and
catalogue are available from aotaunton@the-rifles.co.uk The catalogue remains a
formal record and subsequent to this sale unsold items will be sent to public auction.
All proceeds will be credited to the RGBW MB.
Descriptions and process of sale. Potential purchasers should view
electronic photos and the descriptions within the catalogue. Requests for purchase
may be sent electronically or via the post and submitted on the form at the end of
the table. Submissions must be received by 22 November 2024. Subsequently
individuals will be contacted for payment and in due course objects may be collected
by the purchaser. Should two or more individuals wish to buy the same object or
objects the following will be considered:
- The content and comment within the purchase request.
- Whether an individual purchased objects during the former sale
- Ensuring the maximum number of members benefit from the sale
- Each request to purchase will be considered alongside others
- After 22 Nov 24 a fair allocation to each individual will be
determined.
Warning. All items, with only a tiny number of exceptions, have been ‘well
used’ and their condition reflects this. Purchasers should expect silver to be dented
and/or scratched, pictures to need attention including reframing, and books to be
very worn; valuations reflect this.
