Title: Alarm gun [Go to resource]
Description: Gamekeeper's alarm gun, used on the Greenham Lodge estate in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The device was mounted on a stake in the ground; an intruder, a poacher for example, would activate the trip wire, causing a weight to fall and a cartridge, so alerting the gamekeeper to the presence of an intruder.
