Grant & Lang "Instanter" cartridge

A Grant & Lang “Instanter” shotgun cartridge, retailed under the name of the prestigious London gunmaking firm of Grant & Lang, 7 Bury Street, St James’s, London.

The “Instanter” was one of a number of distinctive proprietary cartridge names associated with Grant & Lang, alongside such evocative period brands as the Briton, Curzon, Grantbury, Rocketer and Velogrant.

Gunmaker-named cartridges such as the Instanter are fascinating survivors from an era when leading British gunmakers supplied sporting ammunition carrying their own distinctive trade names and branding. Today they provide an interesting record of both the British gun trade and the golden age of the paper-cased sporting cartridge.

A particularly appealing example for collectors of London gunmaker cartridges
