                               W&J. Kavanagh Percussion Cap Tin. (Authors Photography!)

The Kavanagh name was associated with the Dublin guntrade for over 100 years.
(C.1817-1923).

The above tin can be dated quite accurately as the company traded as  W & J Kavanagh for a very short period. (1864-1870). This tin being part of the accoutrements associated with a cased air cane. We apologise for the poor quality photograph (authors).

Our appreciation to the mlagb..

We are always pleased to purchase early percussion cap tins especially those with Irish connections.
