Reverend Cyril Price was curate of Alcester between 1892 and 1897, when he left to take up the post of Chaplain to Her Majesty's Forces in India. This gun appears to have been presented to him upon his leaving to take up the new post.

The Smooth-Bore "Ubique" was marketed in J. & W. Tolley's 1910 catalogue as ...shooting shot equal to a first-class Shot Gun, and firing Bullets with the accuracy of a Rifle, the highest grade of which retailed for 50 guineas
