TWO FINE 16 BORE SILVER-MOUNTED FLINTLOCK SPORTING GUNS MADE FOR PRINCE FREDERICK OF BADEN (1756-1817) BY DURS EGG, LONDON, LONDON SILVER MARK 1789, MAKER`S MARK M.B. almost forming a pair, with browned twist barrels of Spanish form, fitted with silver `spider` fore-sights, chiselled with foliage and engraved at the medians, octagonal breeches stamped with the gold-lined barrelsmith`s mark and three gold-lined fleur-de-lys, stamped with London proof marks beneath, inlaid with a pair of gold lines and gold lined vents, engraved case-hardened tangs incorporating the back-sights, signed engraved stepped case-hardened locks decorated with game birds on the tails, a bouquet and a sunburst behind the pans, fitted with engraved case-hardened cocks, semi-rainproof gold-lined pans, steels with rollers and blued springs, figured walnut half-stocks impressed `41` and `42`, carved with a bouquet behind the tangs, the grips cut with characteristic pineapple chequering, full silver mounts comprising engraved side nail washers, trigger-guards engraved with differing scenes involving hounds on the bows and pineapple finials, numbered butt-plates with further game scenes, rear ramrod-pipes, engraved barrel bolt escutcheons, and escutcheons engraved with the crowned owner`s initial `F` enclosed by the motto of the Polish Order of the White Eagle, Pro Fide Rege et Lege, browned steel ramrod-pipes, sling swivels, each with its horn-tipped ramrod, and with much original finish throughout 96.2 cm; 37 7/8 in and 91.2 cm; 36 in barrels Prince Frederick of Baden (1756-1817) was the second son of Charles-Frederick, Margrave of Baden (1728-1811) by his first wife, Caroline-Louise (1723-1783), only daughter of Louis VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt (1691-1768). Prince Frederick was created a knight of the Polish Order of the White Eagle on 5th September 1772. In 1791 Prince Frederick married Princess Christiane-Louise (1776-1829), eldest daughter of Prince Frederick Augustus of Nassau-Usingen (1738-1816); there were no issue of the marriage. In 1803, when his father was raised to the rank of Elector, Prince Frederick and his younger brother, Prince Louis, became Margraves of Baden. The execution of the engraving and the design of the crown, that of a British monarch and not of a prince of Baden, denotes that the escutcheons were engraved in Britain, almost certainly by the maker. Durs Egg, the son of the gunmaker Leonz, was born in Switzerland in 1748. After a short stay in Paris he came to London and worked for John Twigg at 132 Strand. He was gunmaker to George IV and the Duke of York. He became blind in 1822 and died in 1831. A silver-mounted breech-loading Ferguson rifle by this maker is preserved in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. The Royal Collection also includes two very similar guns to the present by this maker, see H. L. Blackmore 1968, (L159, p. 31; L174, p. 34).

A .500 CALIBRE FLINTLOCK RIFLED OFFICER`S PISTOL MADE FOR PRINCE FREDERICK OF BADEN (1756-1817) BY DURS EGG, LONDON, CIRCA 1790 with browned twist octagonal swamped sighted multi-groove rifled barrel, the breech stamped with the gold-lined barrelsmith`s mark, inlaid with a gold line and gold lined vent, engraved case-hardened tang decorated with a trophy-of-arms, signed stepped lock with sliding tail safety-catch, engraved with trophies, foliage and a sunburst, fitted with semi-rainproof pan and steel with roller, set trigger, figured walnut full stock carved with a bouquet behind the tang, cut with characteristic pineapple chequering over the butt, engraved steel mounts comprising trigger-guard (bent) decorated with a trophy-of-arms on the bow and with pineapple finial, pear-shaped butt-cap, and a pair of ramrod-pipes, inset with a silver plaque engraved with the owner`s initial `F` enclosed by the motto of the Polish Order of the White Eagle, `Pro Fide Rege et Lege`, and horn tipped ramrod 25.5 cm; 10 in barrel See footnote to previous lot.

A 28 BORE AND A PAIR OF 20 BORE FLINTLOCK SPORTING GUNS FROM A LARGER GARNITURE ALMOST CERTAINLY MADE FOR PRINCE FREDERICK OF BADEN (1756-1817) BY DAIRE A CHARLEVILLE, CIRCA 1803-15 with minor differences, with blued swamped barrels formed with a long flat, decorated with bands of gold at the muzzles, fore-sights each on a gold sun burst, signed in gold towards the breech, the first with the crowned initial `F` enclosed by the Order of the eagle, the pair with the arms of Baden beneath the crown of a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire above a trophy-of-arms and all enriched with gold beadwork, border-engraved tangs (the first cracked through) incorporating the back-sights, rounded locks fitted with moulded cocks pierced with an additional forward scrolling bar, one lock with semi rainproof pan and water drain, figured walnut half-stocks carved with foliage about the rear ramrod-pipes, a bouquet behind the tangs and impressed with the numbers `20`, `21`, and `22`, steel mounts comprising solid rounded side-plates, trigger-guards with baluster forward portions and leafy terminals, butt-plates of shaped outline, four ramrod-pipes and fore-end caps, silver escutcheons numbered `11`, `13`, and `14, and one retaining its baleen ramrod (the other two replaced) 93 cm; 36 5/8 in 90.3 cm; 35 5/8 in (3) The cypher `F` and the collar of the Polish Order of the White Eagle identify one gun as being made for Prince Frederick of Baden. The arms of Baden on the other guns support this, though they are surmounted the crown of a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. However, this may be an error on the part of the barrelsmith, corroborated by the rendition of the Baden arms being reversed. See footnote to lot 415. Daire is recorded in Charleville circa 1805.

The proximity to France of the territories of Charles-Frederick, Margrave of Baden (1756-1811), together with his initial opposition to the French revolution and its effects, resulted in the devastation of Baden by French armies in the mid-1790s. Thereafter, having indemnified France and ceded some territory to that republic, Baden remained under the sway of its powerful neighbour until 1813. In November 1802, the margrave - having lost his eldest son in the previous year and clearly prescient regarding the ambitions of Napoleon - wrote France`s First Consul a fulsome letter in which he thanked Napoleon for his continuing protection and assured him of his admiration and loyalty: significantly, he chose to send his third - and favourite - son, Prince Louis, to France with the letter. In April 1806, by which time the margrave had become an electoral prince, ties between Baden and France were strengthened by the arranged marriage of the elector`s grandson and heir, Prince Charles, to the Emperor Napoleon`s adopted niece and newly created imperial princess, Stéphanie de Beauharnais. The elevation of the elector to the rank of grand-duke - an elevation approved and arranged by Napoleon - followed in July 1806 and further bound Baden to the fortunes of Napoleonic France. Elements of Baden`s small army served alongside that of France in several campaigns between 1805 and 1812: against Austria in 1805, Prussia in 1806, Britain (in Spain) in 1809 and Russia in 1812. Prince Charles, heir to his grandfather after 1801 and husband of Napoleon`s adopted niece from April 1806, was welcomed by personal letter into Napoleon`s military entourage in September 1806 - `J`approve le désir que vous avez de faire la guerre`. The prince was summoned to meet Napoleon at Bamberg early the following month and was with the French army at its decisive victory over that of Prussia at Jena on 14th October 1806, after which Napoleon wrote to Prince Charles`s widowed mother to reassure her that her son had done well at his first battle - `...il s`est bien comporté à la bataille et supporte bien la fatigue`. In 1807, Prince Charles commanded the Baden contingent at the siege of Danzig and continued on active service until 1808. Succeeding his grandfather in 1811, Charles maintained Baden`s support for France until the battle of Leipzig in 1813 demonstrated that the tide of war was no longer flowing in France`s favour. The political, military and personal ties that bound Baden to France from the late 1790s until 1813 must account for the existence of this carbine in the descendant family of the Grand Duke of Baden. It is possible that it originally belonged either to Prince Louis, who visited Napoleon at his father`s behest in 1802 and remained in Paris for some years, or to his nephew, Prince Charles, who served alongside Napoleon in his campaigns between 1806 and 1808: given the martial qualities of the weapon, the latter seems the most likely of the two princes to have been its original owner. Nicolas-Noël Boutet (1761-1833) the distinguished maker of armes de luxe inherited the position of gunmaker to Louis XIV from his father-in-law, Pierre de Sainte (active 1747-88). In 1792 he became technical Director at the new Versailles Manufactory and in 1800 rose to Directeur Artiste with overall control. He held this position until the closure of the manufactory in 1818. Boutet died fifteen years later in poverty, his career having survived six French Political regimes. Daniel Bouyssay was controller at the Versailles Manufactory from Year II (1793-4) until Year XIV (1805).

Historical DocumentsNapoleon Bonapart's Exile on St. Helena1815-41A fascinating and highly important research collection with much additional material relating to Napoleon's exile. The collection commences with Napoleon's surrender to the British with a long and details memorandum by Sir Henry Bunbury of the events of the discussions between Lord Keith, himself and Napoleon Bonapart on 31st July 1815 on board H.M.S. Bellerophon. After the reading of Lord Melville's letter containing the orders of the British government, there is a virtual verbatim report of Napoleon's response and protestations which includes, "...In St. Helena I should not live 3 months - With my habits and constitution it would be immediate death. I am used to ride 20 leagues a day; what am I to do on this little rock at the end of the world. The climate is too hot for me. No, I will not go to St. Helena. Botany Bay is better than St. Helena...". After this comprehensive account there is also a double page of notes, describing Napoleon's appearance and dress, and with reference to his character, "... in the course of his long talking, I observed changes both in his tone & look, which made me suspect that there was a good deal of the fox, as well as the lion, in the composition of the great conqueror." A wonderful report of which very few copies would have been written.There is an original pen and ink drawing by Major R.P. Boy of the Royal Marines, H.M.S. Newcastle, St. Helena. A pen and wash picture of Napoleon leaning against a cannon, possibly by the same artist, and a pencil sketch on tracing paper (of unknown provenance).When Napoleon arrived on St. Helena, he was put up at The Briars, the house of William Balcolmbe, purveyor to Longwood. There is a long letter from Mrs Balcolmbe dated 1815 (10 Nov.) which contains good insight into the mood of Napoleon on his arrival, "...I was much disappointed in the appearance of the man, there is nothing in his manner or appearance that would make you fancy him as an Emperor or a great hero - he is about five feet seven, very broad across the shoulders and is inclined to get very fat and when he walks he appears quite clumsy and his gait is betwixt that of a strut and a waddle ... My opinion of him is that he is a vulgar looking one, but his gracious manners, particularly to me and my family has made me feel a great desire to please and amuse him."A series of letter from General Sir Hudson Lowe, most with Bertrand's filing numbers in upper left corner, with four documents signed by Hudson Lowe (41, 44, unnumbered and 96) plus copies and/or translations of letters written by Les Cases (5), most are reminders of the regulations with regard to letters to and from Longwood.Some Government letters including a letter from the War and Colonial Department, dictated by Earl Bathurst to the Governor with regard to twenty packets of books being despatched and with the accompanying letter (15) from Hudson Lowe, addressed to Count Bertrand. 1818 (1 Jan.) letter from Earl Bathurst to Hudson Lowe about acts of trickery by Count Bertrand, forwarded on with "Extract, H Lowe" also with Bertrand's signature and numbered (143); 1818 (14 Feb.) letter from Downing Street to Hudson Lowe raising no objection to Count Las Cases helping the publication of Napoleon's book, "Campaigns of Italy", again with the covering letter from Plantation House (155).Other mail into Longwood includes a significant series of letters from Count Las Cases to Count Bertrand, January 1818 to April 1819 and numbered by Bertrand, (1), 2, 3, 4 then apparently 5-15. Las Cases was deported from St. Helena by Hudson Lowe and travelled through Germany and Belgium before being allowed to return to France. These letters are sent from Frankfurt, Baden-Baden, Mannheim and Offenbach, nine are with address panels, the earlier ones to Monsieur General Comte Bertrand, St Helena, one to Longwood, St. Helene and finally just to Longwood, one letter damaged on opening with the notation, "This letter was accidentally torn at the office on opening the envelope, Colonial officer Henry Gouldburn, Feby 25th 1819" (this shows that there was censorship in London). Some of the earlier letter are tatty at top (mouse nibbled?). 1819 (24 Jan.) A.L.S. from Hudson Lowe to Dr. Verling, Longwood.The star item of mail from Longwood is dated 1816 (30 Dec.) written in French by Las Cases and signed by Napoleon. "For Bertrand, Montholon has had some silverware melted down for twelve thousand and some hundred francs. You are to give and order to Cyprien to take four thousand francs to be distributed according to state A. On January 1st the servants will still be owed 16,371 francs. It would be good to send a copy of this account so that this Commander knows that I have to pay my servants. You are to give an order of 2,000 francs to Mr. Marchand as payment for his clothing. You are to give authorization that Mr. Cyprien receives 150 francs daily from January 1st to February 15th which will be 6,000 francs. He is to use these 150 francs in accordance which Montholon will give to him. In this way, with one letter this will be concluded without any further difficulty. You can settle the remaining account of 4,000 Louis, but I do not want to pay for anything concerning my servants of Northumberland because they have been dismissed in violation of their commitments, excepting always, those who had been paid because of the orders of Montholon on May 23rd. I absolutely do not want to pay for what is not in this letter. Nap" (with certificate of authenticity). Also 1819 smuggled message being two letters dated (16 Aug. ) and (9 Sept.). written in a very small hand and with Bertrand's number (35); this is thought to be the only surviving example of such a message. Two items concerning newspapers and an unusual cypher devised by Bertrand (this could be a form of game)Other related items include 1818 letter from Hudson Lowe to Sir Thomas Reade. 1816 (31 Dec.) Dunlop entire to Ayr bearing a fine example of the rare "st.helena/packet letter" oval, with rate changed from "3/6" to "4/8" with indistinct transit mark dated (20 Feb.) with some interesting contents about the activities at Longwood. Also 1817 (10 Oct.) letter from St. Helena (no postal markings) plus a large archive of Dunlop family letters and papers, 1785-1827. A most valuable correspondence, 1815-16, to Amy Whinyates, Cheltenham from her sister, Mrs Younghusband, which includes a hitherto unrecorded "st. helena/packet letter" oval dated 1817 (4 July), rated "4/3" and includes five other entire letters with full postal markings. including crutched cross in red, from several different locations on St. Helena including Devil's Punch Bowl House, Plantation House and Camp at St. Helena; very interesting contents with several references to Napoleon including the problems he caused leaving The Briars for Longwood and one meeting with him. 1821 (8 May) memorandum from Robert Lambert, Rear Admiral and Commander in Chief about the order for the funeral of Napoleon including, "His Majesty's ship Vigo with fire twenty five Minute Guns, commencing when the Signal for that purpose is made from the Alarm Post."The final section is a group of letters written to General Bertrand on his return to St. Helena in 1840-41 to repatriate Napoleon's body to France, each with Bertrand's notation at top, two with address panels (one an envelope) to "La Belle Poule" with letter from Henri Durand-Brager (artist), plus six others. Also two other St. Helena documents, not related to Napoleon.A great wealth of material, ideal for further study of this important and influential historical figure. Photo Sir Henry Bunbury served as Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies from 1809-16. He was promoted to the rank of Major-General and awarded the KCB in 1815, shortly before his meeting with Napoleon.The British authorities finally came to the decision about what to do with Napoleon on 31 July and it was Lord Keith's duty to inform Napoleon that he was to be exiled on the island of St. Helena. He would be allowed to take three officers, his surgeon amd twelve servents. The three officers were the Comte de Las Cases, General Henri Bertrand and General Charles Montholon.General Henri Gratien Bertrand had served at Waterloo as Napoleon's aide and he chose to accompany Napoleon into exile, along with his wife and family.Emmanuel de Las Cases, nearly 50 years old upon his arrival at St. Helena as Napoleon’s secretary. Las Cases, a former naval officer and a count, spoke English -- an important asset to Bonaparte and successfully taught him English. Later Napoleon would read the English newspapers to keep abreast of the news. The duties of running the imperial household fell to General Charles Tristan Montholon, 32 years old. The Montholon family occupied three rooms at Longwood. Hudson Lowe was the son of an Army surgeon and not part of the British aristocracy. Lowe was born in 1769 two weeks before Napoleon making them exactly the same age. Up until the time Lowe assumed the care and custody of Napoleon at St. Helena in April, 1816, he rose through the ranks based upon his merit: General Sir Hudson Lowe was not only dealing with Napoleon and his entourage, but with his new wife as well; the latter, regularly improprietous.
