My search for info about Prince Albert's guns and hunting (I'm doing a piece on that for a Russian publication) turned outh this topic
http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...true#Post209355So, do I get it right that:
a) the "prince consort", for which E. Paton was gunmaker, is
the Prince Consort, i.e., Albert
b) Paton was appointed 9 years after Albert's death.
c) Paton applied for this title after Albert's death (for reasons of advertising) and was given it due to Victoria's common-knowledge unwilingnsess to accept Albert's death? (or was it the other way round, and the appointment was filed for when Albert was still alive? then why so long a delay?)
d) Albert actually had at least one firearm made by Paton
e) Paton is pronounced Pay-ton?
Thanks in advance for any info on this topic
