Oh, I see -
Thanks so much, 'Nando, my dearest friend,
and sorry for troubling you and others as well.
Of course you are right!
I guess I should have either reread the respective passages in Arne Hoff's
Feuerwaffen and/or Hayward's
The Art of the Gunmaker before firing from the hip - or, even better, stuck to my core competence: 14th to 17th c.
Northern European firearms.
Please do forgive an old and hasty 'gunfighter' who was just tryin' to put things straight - and sorta got himself in pullin' his plow iron too quickly ...
On the other hand: I've just caught myself breeding over my third beer - maybe that accounts for me hitting the target!
Best wishes for a good and peaceful night to everybody, especially to those who are not quite so lucky as we can be on this very evening.
And please let me express just how proud and glad I feel to be a continuous part of this forum (sometimes not as continual as I wish to ..), and how grateful I am for you keeping me hanging on!
Michl
