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