Great history
They were used during the Great Northern War (1700-1721) during the reign of Sweden's king Charles XII (who Voltaire wrote an admiring biography of). A time for heroes...

Nostalgia
Off topic - sorry - but the picture at the top of the thread does call up a lot of nostalgia for and pleasant memories of the old Higgins Armory Museum. A number of items (~5000) were retained and transferred to the Worcester Art Museum where some are presently on display and there are, I understand, long range plans to eventually open a dedicated gallery for the Higgins' collection.
