John Parkinson
Gunmaker
22 Arran Quay
Dublin
The pencilled note to the upper left states " 42 to the pound"
John Parkinson first appears in the Dublin trade directory in 1824. Therefore, we can assume he was commenced business c. 1823. The 1826 directory entered this gunmaker's name wrongly as (Parkins) but in subsequent years corrected this error.
