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

INERT DEACTIVATED. RARE, British, Experimental, 25 Round .303 Feed Strip for the British Model 1893 Gatling Gun. - O 2283
The Accles Gun was developed by J. G. Accles (1850-1939), who had worked as a Senior Engineer for the Gatling Gun Company, making many improvements to the design of the gun, before taking over ownership of the British Gatling Gun Company in 1891. The gun was built for Accles by Armstrong Mitchell & Co. at their armaments works at Elswick. The major fault of the Gatling gun was that the ammunition feed was worked by gravity. To alleviate this shortcoming a positive feed was developed by Accles with the form of a feed strip so the gun could be used in any position. This was used in the Model 1893 Gatling gun and was introduced in the new military.30-40 Krag cartridge, and came with a feed strip system very similar to the Hotchkiss machine gun. The U.S. Army bought 18 of these guns, with the option to have them converted to Bruce Feed if the strip system was not satisfactory. The benefit of the strip feed is that is was mechanically actuated by the guns rotating cylinder of the gun, pulling the cartridges into the feed mechanism. This allowed the gun to reliably feed at any speed and any angle of elevation, where gravity-based systems could become unreliable. Ultimately the feed strip system was not adopted and in 1897 all of the American 18 guns built with it were converted to the tried and tested Bruce feed. This is a British Accles feed strip for the British Model 1893 Gatling guns made for use in the British Army. The feed stirp is made in the British .303 caliber from pressed steel with spring tabs holding the cartridge cases and a pressed piece of the strip stabilising the bullet. The strip contains 25 unfired .303 mark 2 rounds which are headstamped C 2 5 (Cordite mark 2 rounds, 5 being an unknown British manufacturer). The rounds have a large unfired copper primer. The price for this rare and experimental British army Gatling gun feed strip and rounds includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess inert rounds in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display.
