As you keep digging, you find that the Lamotte were a numerous family of Stephanois (Saint Etienne natives) gunmakers, active from end XVII to mid XIX centuries;Joseph Lamotte having being of the first in the line (1716-1807).
By the way Dana, how is your French ? Perhaps if you contact the FRENCH MUSEUM OF ART AND INDUSTRY they may be able to pass you precise information on the very Louis Lammote. They seem to be A VIABLE SOURCE. . Last edited by fernando; 9th May 2019 at 02:09 PM. Reason: name spell |

By the way, the correct name is Lamotte and not Lammote

ustrian Cuirassier TRombone 1759/81
In order to add a not so decorated but at least as effectiv trombone I show you the Austrian cuirassier trombone M 1759/81 In each regiment of cuirassiers only 12 men used to have such a gun. A look in its impressive and most threatening muzzle might have had along lasting effect.
