Remnants of a small pot lid label for Farrell Mc Dermott. 2 Abbey Street, Dublin. 

Farrell McDermott was one of the most prolific manufacturers of duelling pistols of the 18th and early 19th centuries.

       Farrell Mc Dermott trading dates:

       St Mary's Abbey     1795 - 1796

     2 Abbey Street          1797 - 1810

       1 Abbey Street        1811 - 1827

Mc Dermott sideplate with only one "T". This is a spelling often found. Speculation has arisen that this form of spelling is attributed to Henry Mc Dermot, gunmaker. (circa 1800)?
Research ongoing.
