Lot 264 J. PURDEY & SONS A RARE PAIR OF 12-BORE TOP LEVER HAMMER EJECTOR GUNS, NOS. 15029/30, BUILT IN 1895 FOR SIR HARRY STONOR 30-inch Whitworth steel chopper-lump barrels with 2 1/2-inch chambers, about full choke borings, the frames, rebounding back locks, hammers and numbered top levers with fine scroll engraving, clipped fences, 13 3/4-inch highly figured stocks, 6lb. 5oz. and 6lb. 2oz., respectively, nitro re-proof, brassbound oak and leather case The maker confirms that the guns were built in 1895 for The Hon Sir Harry Stonor.

Sir Harry Stonor was born in 1859 and was a member of the exclusive Sandringham set. He shot extensively the finest game shots of his day, including King Edward VII, King George V, Lord Ripon and Lord Walsingham. He was the grandson of the 3rd Lord Camoys and spent much of his youth at Sandringham, where he developed his capacity for shooting. He became Gentleman Usher to Queen Victoria in 1883, a position he continued to hold under King Edward VII and King George V. He was Deputy Master of the King’s Household from 1918 until his retirement. He placed 4th in the 1903 Bailey’s magazine list of the Twelve Best Shots in Great Britain, a list headed by the King and Lords Ripon and Walsingham.

He wrote on the 25th January 1939 to Athol Purdey, thanking him for the cheque for his “old guns” and how sorry he was to part with them. He died aged 79 at St James’ Palace on 5th May 1939.

Hammer ejector shotguns are rare as ejector mechanisms were not available until after the hammer gun had effectively become obsolete. It was essentially only the very finest shots of the day who continued to use hammer guns from Purdey in to the 20th century and fully appreciated the advantages that an ejector mechanism offered to allow for more rapid reloading.

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.

(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. 6. IMPORT, EXPORT AND 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

(d) Any post-auction sale of lots shall incorporate these Conditions of Business.

8. PAYMENT AND COLLECTION

9. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in advance, payment of the Purchase Price is due in pounds sterling immediately after the auction (the "Payment Date").

GG’s assumption of risk is subject to the exclusions detailed in Condition 5(d) of the Conditions of Business for Sellers. (e) All packing and handling of lots is at the Buyer's risk. GG will not be liable for any acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers.

(e) charge interest at 4% per annum above NatWest Bank Base Rate from the

Payment Date to the date that the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds;
