M&J Pattison, Gun Manufacturers, 18 Crampton Court,off Dame Street, Dublin.
The above trade label confirms many aspects of this company's history
The fact that both Mark & John Pattison were the son's of the late Thomas Pattison (Gunmaker|) and have made a point to distance themselves from any other house! This in all probability Wm & Jn Rigby's. In addition they were awarded a silver medal from
The Royal Dublin Society*.
