While working in ireland about twenty years ago our client (an old lady) gave me these as part payment as she knew i did a lot of shooting and thought i could use them. i did explain what they were for and that i couldnt use them but she gave them to me anyway. i asked how she came by them and it turns out they were issued to her late husband around 1920 when he was a member of the old IRA. And before you ask i did ask her about the gun they were issued with and she replied that her husband threw it in a river years ago as the children kept playing with it.
