Gunmaker

William Cox       c.1796-1820.	William Street      Waterford.

Very little is known of William Cox, however, he had approximately twenty four years in the guntrade in Waterford.

John Cox is also listed and he traded for a short period prior to William in Waterford. If they were father and son we are not certain but highly probable. (research ongoing).

    John Cox.  John Street, Waterford          c.1772-1788.

The above pistol being registered under the 1843 Act in Leitrim Borough (LB 50).


We are always pleased to know of other pistols produced by either of these gunmakers.
