Robert Clerck of 'Montras' in Scotland sold ammunition to Andrew Johnstone [SSNE 5419] of Christiania during Denmark-Norway's war with Sweden in 1643-1645. It is not known if Clerck took the munitions to Norway or if Johnstone came to collect it. On 24 March 1647, Johnstone asked for permission to return the unused munitions to Clerck
