This set of three Purdeys was given to him on his birthday and have been in the family ever since, being used first by Lionel’s older son Edmund and then by Edmund’s sons, Nicholas and Lionel on their family run shoot at Exbury.

THE JOHN BUNNEY COLLECTION The following lots are from the collection of John F. Bunney.

John Bunney has spent his whole life collecting and enjoying fine vintage firearms. As a child he was introduced to air rifle shooting whilst at school and soon joined the Cadet force to shoot the .303 Bren and No.4.

Having taken up pigeon shooting, and living in Covent Garden, he was just around the corner from the emporium of Thomas Bland and was inspired by the collection of vintage hammer guns displayed in the showcases there. His many visits to purchase ammunition inspired him further and he soon purchased his first hammer gun, a 12-bore live pigeon gun by W & C Scott. This gun saw success in many sporting competitions.

Over a forty year period his collection evolved, with a special passion for guns that were made for Royalty and Nobility.

A good selection of these were sold in these rooms earlier this year.

The time has come to pass on the remainder of the collection, to be enjoyed by a new generation of collectors and enthusiasts.

Lot 267 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. £10000 - 15000

Born in Brooklyn in 1854, she was the second daughter of financier, sportsman and speculator, Leonard Jerome. Long considered one of the most beautiful women of the time, she married Lord Randolph Churchill at the British Embassy in Paris on 15th April 1874. The couple had become engaged within three days of their initial meeting, though the marriage was delayed for some months. Their first son Winston, the future Prime Minister, was born that same year.

PURDEY A 50-BORE PERCUSSION SPORTING RIFLE, NO. 1322 26-inch barrel with folding leaf sight, platinum lined breech with platinum plug, engraved tang, non-rebounding bar lock and bolted hammer with scroll engraving and retaining traces of hardening colour, the half length bird’s eye maple stock with cheekpiece and engraved steel butt plate, 13 3/4-inch pull, 4lb. 12oz., black powder proof, partially refinished overall, in its maker’s mahogany case The maker confirms that the gun was sold in 1828 at a cost of £25. It is recorded as a “small rifle, maple stock” and was sold to Joseph Lang and that he further purchased a new mahogany case for £2 4s.

The case label is the rare 315 Oxford Street example that has later been corrected in ink to 314½. The barrel of the rifle has been reengraved with the address as 315½. It is highly likely that this was originally 314½ or 315 Oxford Street and that during restoration the incorrect number has been engraved.

James Purdey moved in to the former Manton premises at 315 Oxford Street during the course of 1826/7. It appears that very few guns were sold bearing this address as Purdey very quickly changed this to 314 1/2 Oxford Street and all guns sold from those premises subsequently bore that address. £3500 - 5000

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

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

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.

(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.
