UNIQUE**Victorian 1860 Dated British 17th Company Stockport Rifle Volunteers (Stockport Rifles) Nickel Plated Brass Regiment Bugle By Distin London Inscribed ‘Presented By Mrs Henry Coppock 1860’ (On Formation Of The Corps By The Wife Of Its first commanding Officer Captain Henry Coppock). Sn 23028 The 17th Cheshire Rifle Volunteer Corps (RVC) was a Victorian-era volunteer unit formed in Stockport in 1860. Its first commander was Captain Henry Coppock. Along with several other Stockport-based RVCs (18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, and 29th), it was part of the 4th Battalion of the Cheshire Rifle Volunteers, which built an impressive drill hall in Stockport in 1862, known as the Stockport Armoury. The Rifle Volunteer movement emerged in 1859 due to an invasion scare involving Napoleon III's France, encouraging local citizens to form part-time military units for home defence. These were initially independent of the regular British Army but were overseen by the War Office and the local Lord Lieutenant. Under the Childers Reforms of 1881, these volunteer corps were formally affiliated with their local regular army regiment. The 4th Battalion, including the 17th Company, became the 4th Volunteer Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment on December 1, 1887. In 1908, as part of the nationwide reorganisation of volunteer and militia forces, it became the 6th Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment of the new Territorial Force. The 6th Battalion went on to serve on the Western Front during World War I, notably at the Battle of the Somme and the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele), and suffered heavy casualties. The original Stockport Armoury building still stands and is an active Army Reserve Centre today. This unique item was acquired locally in Stockport. The nickel plated brass bugle is inscribed to the lower part of the bell ‘Stockport Rifles 17 Company Presented By Mrs Henry Coppock 1860’ (No Doubt On Formation Of The Corps By The Wife Of Its first commanding Officer Captain Henry Coppock)’ above maker detail ‘Henry Distin Maker 9 Gt Newport St, London’. There are ornate scrolling foliate panels on the bugle. There are areas of factory nickel plating remaining and the bugle has many dents to be expected with the instruments history. The bugle measures 10” long and 7” wide. The price for this instrument presented in 1860 on formation of the Stockport rifles worthy of further research includes UK delivery.

SOLD SOLD (10/11) C1850 Liege Belgium Officer’s Private Purchase Double Barrelled 11 Bore Percussion ‘Howdah’ Holster Pistol. Sn 22579 - 22579
The Howdah pistol was a large-calibre handgun, often with two or four barrels, used in India and Africa from the beginning of the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, during the period of British Colonial rule. It was typically intended for defence against Tigers, Lions, and other dangerous animals that might be encountered in remote areas. The term "howdah pistol" comes from the howdah, a large platform mounted on the back of an Elephant. Hunters, especially during the period of the British Raj in India, used Howdahs as a platform for hunting wild animals and needed large-calibre side-arms for protection from animal attacks at close quarters. The earliest Howdah pistols were flintlock designs, and it was not until about 60 years later percussion models in single or double barrel configuration were seen. Even though Howdah pistols were designed for emergency defence from dangerous animals in Africa and India, British Officers adopted them for personal protection in other far-flung outposts of the British Empire.
