**VERY RARE**1801 Dated Irish Dublin His Majesties Mail Coach Guard’s Brass Barrelled Flintlock Blunderbuss By Teray Dublin With Matching Coach Or Weapon Number B/9. Sn 22902 - 22902
The early 18th century saw the introduction of regular public horse drawn stage coaches in Ireland with one of the 1st recorded services operating between Dublin & Kilkenny in 1728. Dublin mail coaches in the 1800s became part of a sophisticated network for mail and passenger transport, operating on routes to major Irish towns and across the Irish Sea to mainland Great Britain. These Royal Mail coaches, introduced to Ireland in 1789, were reliable services with standardized livery, though independent contractors ran them for the General Post Office. The Mail coach journeys were particularly hazardous as highway men and outlaw gangs would take any opportunity they could to rob Royal Mail transports. To counter attacks Mail Coach guards were armed with pistols and Blunderbusses. The mail service evolved with improved roads, the introduction of timetabled services in the 1820s, and by the mid-1800s, the transport of mail was increasingly taken over by the new railway system. An Irish Gunmaker named only as Teray is recorded working in Dublin circa 1790 (see page 95 of English Irish & Scottish Firearms Makers by Carey). This is an excellent very rare original brass barrelled Dublin Mail Guards flintlock blunderbuss by Teray. It is 29” overall with a bell mouth 14” long brass 2 cannon barrel. The barrel has crisp proofs, hand engraved ‘B/9’ most likely either a weapon or Mail Coach number which is repeated on the shoulder stock and is engraved ‘Dublin Mail 1801’. The muzzle opening is 1 ½” wide. The smooth bore has staining & residue consistent with age & use. A nice feature of this gun is that the rim of the muzzle is engraved ‘***HIS MAJESTIES MAIL*** It has a steel lock signed by the maker ‘Teray’, cock fitted with flint, all original Walnut full stock which has just knocks bumps and bruising consistent with age & coaching use. The wood has chequered grip panels at the wrist. It has brass mounts including butt plate with extended tang, trigger guard with extended tang & ram rod flutes.

Its 2 ½” blackened steel barrel correctly pivots to the right for loading (the hammer must be at half cock to pivot the barrel). The pistol is 5” overall length.
