Maharaja His Highness Mohan Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana of Nepal GCB, GCIE, GBE, was born in 1885 to the Rana family who were the rulers of Nepal at this time. He was the last of the Rana family to be Prime Minister and ruler of the country. His family had ruled Nepal for over a century and had reduced the monarchy to just a figurehead, but at the time of his rule, the current monarch King Tribhuvan was attempting to assert himself. There was civil unrest during his time in charge and the king was forced to exile himself in India until a treaty was signed some years later. By the end of 1951, Rana had lost power in Nepal and he put himself into self-imposed exile in India, where he died in Bangalore in 1967. This uniform set was originally sold in Wallis and Wallis auctioneers in the late 1980’s, a letter of provenance from the then owner is included in the lot.
