Its the first time I have seen anything like this for sale at a car boot.
I paid a pretty penny for it but it will look great with the Tipperary Flying Column re-enactment gear.
Happy chappie.
Regards.

Nice find Tom,can't imagine too many of these to be picked up these days.

Is that an actual war of Independence era one ? If so that's a fantastic find.

Yes it is. I am familiar with the copies so knew what this was. Happy chappie.
Regards.
