This lavish presentation shotgun represents a link between English and Belgian royalty. It was presented in 1866 by King Leopold II for Sir Charles George Young, Garter King of Arms. The Order of the Garter is the highest level of chivalry in the United Kingdom.
The pinfire’s lustrous gold and detailed panel scenes exemplify the opulence of the Victorian era, the craftsmen of Liege, and a time when the second king of the Belgians sought out alliances and international power.
