Yeah, for some reason Greener always used 1836 as the date for Lefaucheux's invention but Lefaucheux begin on January 28, 1833 w/ French patent #5525. And the 4th ammendment/addition of March 31, 1835 seems to be the correct date. Greener's works, both W. & W.W., are time sensitive as his opinion changes w/ technology. "Gunnery" of 1858 as well as "Modern Breechloaders" circa 1870, which was to be "Gunnery" of 1868 give great insight to the happenings of the time. What an event all of the Exhibitions must have been, possibly with the Crystal Palace being at the top.
Kind Regards,
