Cork & Fermoy Day Coach.




The

Cork & Fermoy 

Day Coach.




The expansion of the coaching services in the late 18th and early 19th centuries offered very good business opportunities to the gunmakers of Ireland. Even more so the Royal Mail Coaches that required constant protection.

The above service appears almost like the shopping excursion of the well to do. These would still have offered rich pickings for the footpad's and highwaymen although these services emphasize
the use of day-light thereby offering some slight improvement in safety from ambush and road accidents.

  We are always interested in Pistols/Guns associated with the coaching services within Ireland.
