The Irish Registration Act of 1843
Schedule B.,6&7 Vic.,Cap.74,Sec 3.
Licence to Keep Arms.
Survey
1843-1846
Continental Weapons.
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 continental weapons found registered between 1843-1846.
Listed are the county prefix, licence number, description of weapon/s and where possible the maker/retailer.

Of the weapons thus far listed in this survey it can be seen that the foreign made arms within Ireland during and leading up to the Act were a very small proportion of the weapons in circulation. As a percentage of the weapons found they make up less than one percent of the total. As detailed in our "older posts" the indigenous gunmakers were producing seventy five percent of the
weapons in use and the balance being supplied by English gunmakers.
We are always interested in foreign weapons registered under the 1843 Act.
