I have a couple of spare Trade labels form the 1878 to 1920 period as above and would be happy to send you one if you wish. I am unable to access my computer for a couple of weeks but if you leave me a message I will get back to you upon my return.
Lord Curzon at Kedleston was the last Viceroy to India. The Kedleston Estate is just 3 miles from where I live.
I'm not sure about the legislation at that time but I don't think land ownership was an issue at that point I think all it required was a Game License. There were various Game Acts brought in in 1828 and 1830. You should be able to search under Game Act 1828 and Game Act 1830. If you are still stuck on that one I can go into it in more depth when I am back on line. Lagopus.....

Lagopus, thank you very much. The point is I've done research on this topic, for my September column which was about English Game Laws, and land ownership was required all the way until January 1832. I have a few old books (thank Google, Project Gutenberg and www.archive.org - where would I be without those!) which argue very eloquently about the injustice of that.

I just picked up a Manton 20 Ga ejector gun serial 77305 in beautiful condition. I wonder if anyone has a mfg date for this little wand?

As a matter of interest... 7 April 1826 article from "The Morning Advertiser" - the auctioning of Manton's goods after bankruptcy.  Joseph Lang bought everything. (What the heck did Joseph Manton do with a canon rifling machine? And why did Lang buy it?

The story I heard about the bankruptcy was that it was due to Manton making guns to the new caplock system(s) and neglecting to pay a patent fee. Oops

Joseph Manton's clientele would have been predominantly, if not entirely, composed of the "Gentry".
Methinks it naive to think that this customer base were prompt payers...if at all or better late than never type. It would be a ticklish affair to try and extract the readies from this class and the risks attached to "name and shame" do not bear thinking about !
Nothing changes !
