Wonderful
What fun
Happy 4th
Aaron, nice thought. I like it.
On another subject, I have a German pinfire cape gun. The rifle chamber fits a 28 ga. pinfire case perfectly. Do you have any information on a pinfire rifle cartridge of this size ?
Love the pic. I have massive collection of firecracker packs, some 19th Century. Along with tea and silk on the good ship Derby , first vessel bringing trade goods from China.

Yeah. Here are a couple. 2nd row, 3rd and 4th from right.
Aaron, thanks. It looks like both projectiles you reference are conical. I was unsure about that. I guess it makes sense that a round ball might be used in a non rifled bore.
Your Pinfire Page is interesting. I'll try to find it.

I may have an extra of the one on the right as well. I'll check for you. Also, the Pinfire Page is my column in the
International Ammunition Association Journal.
I actually compiled the last 5 years of my column into a publication too if you want it. There is a lot of great pictures and information in it.

Aaron, thanks . If you have extras, I'd be interested.
I'll look up the International Ammunition Association Journal. I was unaware of it.
Off to the Amazon page. Thanks for the help. Daryl
Aaron,
I’m a collector of British pinfire sporting guns, and your publication, and journal, are new to me. Thamks for posting the information.

Great to see collections like these!
Aaron, thanks for the efforts. When you are able to search for a duplicate or two of the 28 gauge pinfire cased rifle shells, I would be interested. Thanks, Daryl
