Hello all! Here is my #introductions post.

I am a #collector #historian and #researcher of early 19th century breech-loading #firearms.

I have a special interest in #pinfire #cartridges and firearms and research everything about them from their use in #MilitaryHistory to #hunting and all about the intricacies of the various manufacturers.

I am a director in the International Ammunition Association and a member of the American Society of Arms Collectors.

A couple of the very earliest #pinfire #shotshells ever, shown with an early example of a double barrel pinfire #shotgun made by Casimir #Lefaucheux around 1840. I love these early examples!
