This Webley revolver is described as ‘probably General Collins’ own sidearm’. It was taken from the touring car that was transporting his body after Béal na Bláth ambush. It sold for €72,000 at Whyte’s auction in Dublin in 2009.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
