1848.  Licence No 211, for A Double Barrell Shotgun and 20 Rounds of Ammunition issued under An Act For the Better Prevention of Crime and Outrages in Certain Parts of Ireland, to Have Arms in a Dwelling House of James Vickery, Inchingerig, Caheragh West Cork.

A broadly similar license is currently in use in Vancouver, Canada,  according to a member of the extended family.
