Despite losing his right eye Clonbrock was not discouraged, ordering several new guns and rifles, all with cross-over stocks that allowed him to shot from his right shoulder using his left eye, from John Rigby, the leading Dublin gunmaker, and from James Purdey in London. Over the next sixty years Clonbrock became one of the leading Irish game shots of his generation. His prowess, especially at wood cock, was widely reported in Victorian newspapers. €1500 - €2000 1316 1318 1319
