The Royal Mail Coach.
Clonmel.
Coaching advertisement dated 1789.
The coaching companies were lucrative business for the gunmakers of Ireland where blunderbusses and pistols were carried for protection of both the Royal Mail and their passengers.
A later Percussion Over & Under Turnabout "Vendor" Pistol by George Armstrong, Clonmel.
We are always interested in weapons produced by Clonmel gunmakers.
Our thanks to the owner for photography.
