Rampoor Prize Cup of the Northern India Rifle Association, won by Mr. R. G. Currie..., 1864. Creator: Unknown
Rampoor Prize Cup of the Northern India Rifle Association, won by Mr. R. G. Currie, at the Agra shooting-match, 1864. 'The Northern India Rifle Association, which owes its establishment chiefly to the exertions of Mr. R. H. Dunlop, C.B., musters already nearly 250 members. It holds its meetings successively at Agra, Bareilly, Lahore, and Seetapoor, at different periods of the year. Our Engraving represents the prize cup given by his Highness the Nuwab of Rampoor, to be competed for by the members of this association, at their match on the 28th of December, at Agra. Its value is a thousand rupees, and it was manufactured, like all the other prize cups of this association, by Messrs. Angell and Co., of the Strand. The Rampoor prize was won by Mr. R. G. Currie, of the Indian Civil Service, one of the honorary secretaries of this association. The same gentleman also won the gold medal of the association, and one or two other prizes, with the rifle championship of Northern India for 1864. He is a son of Sir F. Currie, one of the Council for the Government of India'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

A Symbol of Excellence - The Rampoor Prize Cup
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking print, a gleaming trophy takes center stage - the Rampoor Prize Cup, awarded to Mr. R. G. Currie at the Agra shooting-match in December 1864. This coveted prize was donated by His Highness the Nuwab of Rampoor and valued at a thousand rupees. Crafted by Messrs. Angell and Co., it is one of several prestigious cups presented during matches organized by the Northern India Rifle Association.
The association, founded largely through the efforts of Mr. R. H. Dunlop, C.B., has grown to nearly 250 members who gather at various locations throughout the year, including Agra, Bareilly, Lahore, and Seetapoor. The Rampoor Prize Cup was won by none other than Mr. Currie himself - an accomplished marksman and honorary secretary of the association.
A son of Sir F. Currie, a member of India's Council for Government, Mr. R. G. Currie also took home the gold medal and several other prizes at this prestigious event, solidifying his reputation as one of Northern India's top rifle champions in 1864. This print serves as a testament to excellence on the shooting range and is sure to captivate anyone with an interest in history, sports, or Indian culture during this pivotal era.
