This exceptionally high-quality weapon is certainly a special commission for King Ernest Augustus himself, who was known to have had a great interest in the manufacture of edged weapons.

In 1844 and 1855 the company's products were awarded gold medals. From 1852 onwards, the company was permitted to bear the quality designation “Hofbronzefabrik” (Court Bronze Foundry).

The piece originates from Marienburg Castle of the House of Welf, the royal Hanoverian collection, which was largely sold at Sotheby's auction in 2005.

George III (*1738) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820. In the Holy Roman Empire he ruled from 1760 as Elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg, from which the Kingdom of Hanover and the Duchy of Brunswick emerged in 1814. The personal union between Great Britain and the Kingdom of Hanover continued under his successors King George IV and William IV and ended with the accession of King Ernest Augustus I in 1837.
The Electoral Hanoverian Army maintained its independence but often fought alongside British troops and was uniformed and equipped according to British model. The army of the Electorate was dissolved after the French occupation of Hanover in 1803, but a large portion of the officers and soldiers went to Great Britain and were reconstituted there as the King's German Legion. In 1816 the Hanoverian Army was reestablished.

In 1847 he transferred to the Garde-Husaren-Regiment and rose to the rank of Rittmeister by 1859. In 1862 he was appointed adjutant to the then Crown Prince Ernst August Ernst August ((II.) von Hannover (1845*, 1923†)). (He probably transferred to the Gardes du Corps at this time). In 1866 he participated in the Battle of Langensalza. After the lost war and the annexation of Hannover, he went into exile in Austria with the royal family. There he was entrusted with the administration of the court stables in 1872 and also assumed the office of Marshal of the Court in 1878.

Georg III. (*1738) war von 1760 bis 1820 König von Großbritannien und Irland. Im Heiligen Römischen Reich regierte er ab 1760 als Kurfürst von Braunschweig-Lüneburg woraus 1814 das Königreich Hannover und das Herzogtum Braunschweig entstanden.
