Francisco Antonio García, a student of Francisco López, was appointed royal gunsmith to King Carlos III in 1788, and to his successor King Carlos IV in 1799. He died on 25 May 1792, apparently leaving no disciples. As he is recorded only between 1774 and 1792, these may be his earliest dated products, and perhaps formed part of a set of guns

A powder-flask by García, dated 1789, is in the Real Armería, Madrid (inv. no. K 248). It is described and illustrated in Álvaro Soler del Campo, Catálogo de arcabucería madrileña (1687-1833), Madrid, 2006, pp. 169 and 308

Charles Phelps was the proprietor of the Mont Storm Gun Works whose retail office was at 3 Rood Lane between 1866 and 1871

William Mont Storm was granted a U.S. patent for his ‘self-sealing-chamber system’ in July 1856. His system employs a central bolt locking the breech from the rear on the fall of the hammer. He was granted various British patents and together with Charles Phelps oversaw British army trials of his system for which he was awarded a silver medal at the International Exhibition in 1862. The Mont Storm system was officially adopted by the British Government in 1865 for the conversion of all its military longarms. However the first shipment of paper cartridges from Eley’s would not fit the breech chamber, and the case-hardening of some of the breeches was faulty, so the system was rejected in favour of Snider’s metallic cartridge system. The so-called ‘Mont Storm Cartridge’ was made of translucent animal intestine bound with silk cord and fully combustable, leaving the chamber empty for the next round

Antique Arms & Armour | 191 The Dr. T. Shaun Brown Collection

Dr. T. Shaun Brown FRCP, FRCR (1942-2012), accomplished salmon fisherman, game shot and wild-fowler, qualified from Guy's Hospital intending to pursue a career in respiratory medicine, but devoted his working life to radiological diagnosis as a highly respected specialist at the Bradford Hospitals.

Towards the end of his career he was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and of the College of Radiology.

Like many of his generation, his interest in shooting and antique firearms started at an early age, and was later encouraged by the late Jack Knapton (see lots 451 and 459), whose collection was sold at auction in 1990. Shaun's particular focus was on Samuel Staudenmayer and the Mortimer family.
