Baltimore John L. Pipino was born in 1827 in Germany. He opened up a gun shop the same year as his brother, Jacob C. Pipino, on 16 Mercer Street in Baltimore. In 1851 he was located at 46 1/2 Harrison Street, 1867 at Cross Street near Shop and 1868 at Peach Alley near Cross. This was the last listing where he was self employed. After this time he was either employed with his brother or went to Illionis where he is recorded in the state gazetteer as a single freeman gunsmith working into the 1880s.
