Kavanagh, Dublin. First established 1796 last recorded in 1922.
Boothroyds directory gives details of the firms history.
For several years I owned and used a very fine Kavanagh hammer gun. This gun was equal in quality and feel to a good London gun. The address on the rib was, 12, Dame Street Dublin. This gun had Birmingham proof marks suggesting that perhaps the gun was finished in Dublin utilizing Birmingham components. A second Kavanagh gun seen was a good quality Birmingham made box lock, probable source Webley and Scott.
