137 A VOLUNTEER TRAINING RIFLE,

circa 1914, of the type used by the Irish Volunteers until they

were able to replace them with real weapons. Rare with such

attention to detail, a fine well-crafted example with added

weights to give a realistic, balance and feel and similar in size

and design to Howth Mauser, 126cm long.

€ 400 - 600

138 BLUNDERBUSS PISTOL,

possibly Mediterranean in origin with decorated barrel with flared muzzle

and (possibly) silver inlaid highly carved and decorated stock and butt

stock. Repairs carried out to the stock incorporating a brass ring tie.

Well used and a most interesting piece.

€ 400 - 600
