A replacement No.1 gun was then built, using one of the pairs of original barrels and was numbered 16073 so as not to cause confusion with the gun that Purdey had subsequently sold.

The vendor’s family is not sure how the second gun came to be built, but it is speculated that the original No.1 gun was stolen in the aftermath of World War II and that Purdey offered to replace it as they had unwittingly sold the original No.1 gun. Research in to the Purdey records is ongoing.

Lot 271 EZEKIEL BAKER A RARE 15-BORE DOUBLE IGNITION FLINTLOCK SPORTING GUN, BUILT FOR HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES, THE PRINCE REGENT 33-inch damascus twist barrels with gold lined breech and maker’s stamp, engraved “Gunmaker to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales”, ramrod with horn tip, gold lined touch holes, engraved tang, the Baker patent locks constructed to cock in unison, frizen springs with rollers, rainproof pans, the half length well figured stock with silver mounts, the steel trigger guard with engraved pineapple finial, chequered grip, leather covered cheekpiece and engraved steel butt plate, the hand inlaid with gold Prince of Wales feathers above a presentation inscription “Gift to My Friend Bob”, 14 1/2-inch pull, 6lb. 2oz., London black powder proof

The Prince Regent was born on August 12, 1762, the eldest son of George III and Queen Charlotte. He was crowned George IV on January 29, 1820, having been made Prince Regent in 1811 due to his father’s insanity.

When he was only 15 years old, his tutor said of him that he would become “either the most polished gentleman or the most accomplished blackguard in Europe - probably both”. During his life he had a great reputation for extravagance - a cause of considerable concern within Parliament during what was a period of great economic distress.

He built up a considerable personal debt and by 1783 owed £160,000. He then undertook a costly extension of Carlton House, London, adding an Ionic portico and redesigned the gardens; while in Brighton he started to build the Royal Pavilion, the epitome of 18th century opulence.

He married Princess Caroline of Brunswick in 1794 and only two years later £600,000 worth of his debts were liquidated by Parliament. This affected the gun trade considerably as he owed Durs Egg £1,837, John Manton £113 and Henry Nock £281.

The majority of the Prince’s creditors were asked to prove their claims to the Commissioners of the Prince Regent’s Accounts and luckily the gunmakers received debentures payable over two or three years.

At the end of the 18th century, he showed a great deal of interest in the work of Ezekiel Baker, one of the leading London gunmakers, following the success of Baker’s infantry rifle which had been adopted by the British Army in 1800. Baker sold many guns to the Prince, including some elaborately engraved silver mounted flintlocks and it appears he spent a great deal of time shooting with the Prince.

In his book, “Remarks on Rifle Guns”, Baker illustrates three targets shot by the Prince at Brighton in 1805 using a pair of pistols and a rifle. In 1828 Baker won a silver medal from the Society for the Encouragement or Arts and Manufacturers.

The Prince Regent formed a considerable collection of guns, firearms and armour, many of which are housed at Windsor Castle. £9000 - 12000

GAVIN GARDINER LIMITED’S AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If Gavin Gardiner Limited sells an item of Property which is later shown to be a “Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Gavin Gardiner Limited will rescind the sale and refund the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Gavin Gardiner Limited for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price.

The Guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is non-transferable.

“Counterfeit” means an item of Property that in Gavin Gardiner Limited’s reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue description for the Property.

Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work (including, but not limited to, recolouring, refinishing or rebarreling).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:-

(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or

(ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in Gavin Gardiner Limited’s reasonable opinion); or

To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:-

(i) notify Gavin Gardiner Limited in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to Gavin Gardiner Limited in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Gavin Gardiner Limited has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Gavin Gardiner Limited may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field and acceptable to Gavin Gardiner Limited. Gavin Gardiner Limited shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Gavin Gardiner Limited decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Gavin Gardiner Limited.

(iii) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description.

3. EXAMINATION OF LOTS

5. BIDDING AT AUCTION

(a) GGs knowledge of lots is partly dependent on information provided by the Seller and GG is unable to exercise exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Each lot is available for examination before sale. Bidders are responsible for carrying out examinations and research before sale to satisfy themselves over the condition of lots and accuracy of descriptions.

(a) GG has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction. Before sale, Bidders must complete a Registration Form and supply such information and references as GG requires. Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and severally liable with their principal, if bidding as agent (in which case GG’s prior and express consent must be obtained).

4. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY TO BUYERS

(c) When available, written and telephone bidding is offered as a free service at the Bidder’s risk and subject to GG’s other commitments; GG is therefore not liable for failure to execute such bids. Telephone bidding may be recorded.

(b) All oral and/or written information provided to Bidders relating to lots, including descriptions in the catalogue, condition reports or elsewhere are statements of GG’s opinion and not representations of fact. Estimates may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time at GG’s absolute discretion. (a) GG shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer in circumstances where it deems that the lot is a Counterfeit, subject to the terms of GG’s Authenticity Guarantee. (b) Subject to Condition 4(a), neither GG nor the Seller :-

(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in any oral or written information provided to Bidders by GG, whether negligent or otherwise;

(ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as such obligations cannot be excluded

by English law), other than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer (for which the Seller is solely responsible) under the Conditions of Business for Sellers;

(iii) accepts responsibility to Bidders for acts or omissions (whether negligent or otherwise) by GG in connection with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to the sale of any lot.

(c) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against GG and/ or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price for the relevant lot. Neither GG nor the Seller shall be liable for any indirect or consequential losses. (d) Nothing in Condition 4 shall exclude or limit the liability of GG or the Seller for death or personal injury caused by the negligent acts or omissions of GG or the Seller.

(b) GG advises Bidders to attend the auction, but GG will endeavour to execute absentee written bids provided that they are, in GG’s opinion, received in sufficient time and in legible form.

6. IMPORT, EXPORT AND COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS

GG and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is subject to import, export or copyright restrictions. It is the Buyer's sole responsibility to obtain any copyright clearance or any necessary import, export or other licence required by law, including licenses required by law under the 1968 Firearms Act and Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

7. CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION

(a) The auctioneer has discretion to refuse bids, withdraw or re-offer lots for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if (s)he believes that there may be an error or dispute, and may also take such other action as (s)he reasonably deems necessary.

(b) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding in such increments as (s)he considers appropriate and is entitled to place bids on the Seller’s behalf up to the Reserve Price for the lot, where applicable.

(c) Subject to Condition 7(a), the contract between the Buyer and the Seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer's hammer. (d) Any post-auction sale of lots shall incorporate these Conditions of Business.

8. PAYMENT AND COLLECTION

9. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT

(b) Title in a lot will not pass to the Buyer until GG has received the Purchase Price in cleared funds.

11. DATA PROTECTION

(a) GG will use information supplied by Bidders or otherwise obtained lawfully by GG for the provision of auction related services, client administration, marketing and as otherwise required by law.

(b) By agreeing to these Conditions of Business, the Bidder agrees to the processing of their personal information and to the disclosure of such information to third parties world-wide for the purposes outlined in Condition 11(a) and to Sellers as per Condition 9(i).
