Possibly manufactured by the trade in Birmingham and retailed by Towns(h)end in Cork.That would be a common enough route for pistols of this type.Town(s)hend might have been an ironmonger/hardware merchant who retailed guns and possibly did repairs and modifications.There were a few of these dealers in Cork.
