Product Details
Makers Name: Henry Thatcham
Age Period: 1840s
Country of Origin: England
Product Type: Shotguns

A British shotgun made for King Ernest Augustus of Hannover.

Built by both Henry Thatcham and A. Tanner of Hannover.

The shotgun is a 16 bore percussion muzzle loader with Damascus twist barrels in immaculate condition, it features German silver fittings, delicately engraved nature scenes and inlaid with gold on the hammers and also the cartouche. The cartouche bears the cypher of Augustus when he was King so this dates the shotgun to about 1840.

King Ernest Augustus was the fifth son of George III and brother of William 4th. 2nd in line to the throne after Queen Victoria but due to Salic law he inherited the throne of Hannover instead. The king was very conservative even by Victorian standards and took part in several battles with Hanoverian troops against the French during their Revolutionary wars. He obtained a wound to the head during this time, he was also a controversial figure with rumours being spread that he had murdered one of his valets.

A beautiful item of Royal Quality.

-Modulo di richiesta prodotto:

Il modulo di richiesta prodotto è un modo per registrare il tuo interesse per qualsiasi articolo che abbiamo visualizzato sul nostro sito web.
Poiché vendiamo centinaia di articoli ogni settimana, può essere difficile mantenere un elenco delle scorte accurato e aggiornato per il sito Web, quindi anziché chiedere ai nostri clienti di "acquistare" un articolo che sfortunatamente potrebbe essere stato venduto, hai invece la possibilità di "richiedere informazioni" ".

Ciò ci consentirà di verificare che l'articolo sia ancora disponibile, nonché di risolvere eventuali esigenze aggiuntive, misurazioni e preventivi di consegna prima di effettuare un acquisto.

Ci auguriamo che questo a sua volta renda la visualizzazione e l'acquisto di articoli online dal nostro Centro un processo fluido e positivo.

Grazie per aver letto,
