The Irish Registration Act of 1843
Schedule B.,6&7 Vic.,Cap.74,Sec 3.
Licence to Keep Arms.
County Mayo
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 weapons found registered in County Mayo between 1843-1846.
Listed are the county prefix, licence number, description of weapon/s and where possible the maker/retailer.
Skelton back action lock percussion pocket/overcoat pistol with captive ramrod.
Skelton of Omagh octagonal barrelled pistol registered in Co: Mayo. (MA 2108)
We are always interested in guns/pistols manufactured by this gunmaker.
The connection, if any, between Richard Skelton of Monaghan and Skelton of Omagh has yet to be clarified.
Skelton of Omagh listed by Richard J. Garrett in
Irish Gunmakers, Published Hong Kong, 2008.
