Ed, I have a Keegan which is also a Dublin maker.It is a box lock and not as ornate as yours but a pleasure to shoot. I am out the door to go to SD and will post photos when I return. Up the rebels! Up the IRA!

Irish guns, like Irish fly reels, do not show up often. But when they do they make you want to see more of them

The Jones underlever is very nice and durable. I have a J Venables & Son 16ga which is an English manufacturer but from the same time period. It's also a hammer gun with the Jones underlever system.

Circa 1880, I would be very surprised if that gun was "made" in Dublin. I would be mildly surprised if it was even finished in Dublin. Although I am sure there were exceptions, Keegan, Kavanaugh and others bought their guns in Birmingham just like many other provincial makers. What proof marks are on it?

I'm currently looking at pictures of a double 4 bore muzzle loader that's Irish.
