This article provides relevant information to sportsmen who may be interested in hunting any specific king, queen or other titled nobility, rather it is about the shotguns produced by those same gunmakers from 1870 to 1915 and sold to anyone who could afford them. The initial owners came primarily from the new class of super-wealthy industrialists, merchants, financers, investors and landowners created by the Industrial Revolution. Although these guns lacked the level of ornamentation of those made for royalty, by and large they were of the same design, used the same functional components and were built in the same shops by master craftsmen.
