The following entries have been collected over a number years by myself, fellow collectors and dealers. In total over 1100 registrations from the 39 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 Louth between 1843-1846.
