The 450 was made for Lord John Manners, 7th Duke of Rutland who was born, raised and died at
Belvoir Castle in 1906. The Castle is intact to this day. See the pics and read the history of the Castle and the Dukes of Rutland. Lord John Manners was the Head of the House of Lords in 1890s England. A Duchess of Rutland lives there today.

Belvoir Castle is the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland. The family have lived at Belvoir in an unbroken line for almost a thousand years. Crowning a hill in Leicestershire, its turrets and towers rise over the Vale of Belvoir like an illustration in a romantic fairytale.

The land was a gift from William the Conqueror to one of his Norman barons – Robert de Todeni who fought for him as his Standard Bearer at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

I am just a custodian of this wood and metal piece of history...for now.

The Holland 500 BPE was made for:

Rajah V. Venkatakristna Yachendra Bahadur - 5th Brother of the Rajah of Venkatagiri K.C.I.E.

as inscribed on the barrels.
