From the above advertisement it is evident that Pigous & Wilks; after winning the case against the
fraudsters involved with offering spuriously labelled gunpowder, were driven to offer agencies to various gunmakers and merchants in six cities across Ireland viz; Belfast, Newry, Dublin, Cork, Waterford  and Limerick.

             The gunmakers listed are: William Cole, Joseph Bowls and William Richardson.

                We are always interested in information related to the gunmakers of Ireland.
