Irish Gunmaker's Trade Labels.A rare find?

For those out there interested in Irish Gunmakers I will in due course be adding a few pieces of additional data regarding rare trade labels that I have either purchased or been given access to.

The attached label being for Joseph Braddell of Belfast. This being one of the earliest labels known for this gunmaker. Joseph Braddell bought out William Cole in circa 1839 and thereafter moved his business to 17 Castle Place. This label and pair of pistols are from circa 1845. Courtesy of Leslie Martin.

We  are always pleased to discuss any aspect of the early Irish Guntrade. If you have any data or in particular Irish Gunmakers Trade Cards/Labels we would be pleased to hear from you.
