  Due to technical issues and pressure of life our blog was temporarily put on hold from January 2025 but we are pleased to announce that we are back and hopefully a return to regular output of facts and general information related to the Gunmakers of Ireland.  May we take this opportunity to thank all those that have contacted us in the interim and wished us well.                                                        Dave Stroud. ramrodantiques.co.uk

An Open and Closed Case. Finding the unusual.

Image
                                   An Open & Closed Case. Always when out and about on my travels I hope to find the unusual of which the attached is. A beautifully made burr walnut revolver pistol case possibly for a Tranter and containing not a trade label but a dispatch label dated 6th October 1879.  This indicating that Trulock & Harriss of 9 Dawson Street, Dublin had possibly ordered this case from a case supplier? Trulock & Harriss traded at 9 Dawson Street, Dublin, under this title from 1854-1897. We are always interested in purchasing pistol cases and original trade cards/labels related to the gunmakers of Ireland.                                                        Dave Stroud. ramrodantiques.co.uk

Ryan 5 foot Barrelled Fowling Piece (Converted).

Image
                                              A Five Foot Barrelled Fowling Piece by Ryan.              My good friend and keen shot Ian Parker shouldering the Ryan from my collection. Although converted from flintlock this is a superb piece showing all the details of a gun from the late 18th century. A raised shelled apron around the top back tang and overall fine balance. A gun I bought over twenty years ago in Oxfordshire and one that I'm always pleased handle. The question I'm always asked is how does it shoot? I don't know I'm too frightened to shoot it!!! I love it too much.                                                 Dave Stroud. ramrodantiques.co.uk
