Johann Georg Heinrich Egestorff(1802-1868) was also dubbed with the Kommerzienrat title as he owned a primer making business at Linden Mountain, at a salt works?, in the Hannover, which he founded in 1861. Johann Friedrich August Buresch(1821-1885) married Johann Georg Heinrich Egestorff's daughter Georgine Wilhelmine Egestorff(1836-1804). The firm manufactured primers, cartridges and evidently made or sourced clay pigeons as they sold them to the Brits. It had an address on Hamel­ner Chaussee which is now either Hanomagstraße or Bornumerstraße.
Anyway with the Egestorff concern making primers and Karl Stiegele making bullets, I'm sure they were more than just pen pals.
