A company long since banished from Dublin. This store was demolished to make way for the ring road in the 1960's. From the attached links we can see their products were linked with civil engineering but they also had a Gun Department. In all probability they were a retailer of firearms rather than a manufacturer.

It would be interesting to see a picture of this store prior to its demolition. Anyone out there any ideas?

Our thanks for all the above links.
