Note: Harvey Walklate Mortimer 1753-1819 was born in Newcastle-under-Lyme. He had established himself as a gunmaker in London by 1775 having been trained by his uncle William Perry in Birmingham in 1766. His first premises were in 6 King Street off Drury Lane London The following year he moved to Great Queen Street in Lincoln's Inn Fields and finally his premises were at 89 Fleet Street London. Mortimer was free of the Farrier's Company in 1782. He became gunmaker to the King and recieved his Royal appointment to King George III in 1783. He remained at Fleet Street untill his retirement through ill health in 1811. His son H.W. Mortimer had the same name Harvey Walklake, in memory of the elder Mortimer's Great-uncle. The younger Mortimer was born in 1776 and was apprenticed at the age of 15 to his father in 1791 and served in the Inns of the Court Regiment of Volunteers from 1803. He was Gunmaker to King George III in 1805 and he retired in 1816. Both Mortimers were renowned makers of decorated firearms for the Turkish and Middle Eastern markets, which this pair was very possibly intended for. They also produced some of the finest duelling and target pistols. Their duelling pistols have very distinctive writhen carved butts, which add a very elegant and distinctive flourish to the stocks. A fine silver inlaid flintlock fowling piece for the Turkish market and a case of duelling pistols by this maker from the Keith Neal Collection is on display in the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers proof house in London.
