What a wonderful article. Don't miss it, highlighted above. The Pauly guns were of quite high quality and could come with a plain finish or highly adorned.

Another thought, the Pauly actually had internal strikers, a design not used much until many decades later.

Another interesting thing that I didnt really realize until researching this topic a little more is just how ahead of its time this really was. This was really going up against flintlock guns not percussion guns. It was only four years prior when Forsyth invented his popular percussion powder and the concept of percussion caps begin to come around. Percussion weapons werent really even a thing until after Paulys invention here.
