The Irish Registration Act of 1843
Schedule B.,6&7 Vic.,Cap.74,Sec 3.
Licence to Keep Arms.
County Armagh.
The following entries have been collected over a number years by myself, fellow collectors
and dealers. In total over 1100 registrations from the 40 areas have been collated which is a
very small sample of the 300.000 weapons the authorities had calculated were in circulation
in private hands at this time.
The list below gives all those weapons found registered in County Armagh between
1843-1846. Listed are the county prefix, licence number, description of weapon/s and where
possible the maker/retailer.

held by volunteer/militia regiments. All regular army issue weapons being exempt from the Act.
Another interesting fact from this whole survey is the average volumes of weaponry for each area.
The six counties averaging 10668* weapons per county whereas across the other 33
counties/boroughs the average volumes drop to a meager 3808.*
