In wondering about the connection between London gunmakers and Lige in the 1850's....the connection with Birmingham was definitely there, Trantor and Adams making revolves in Lige....(Raimey has explored this in detail) - I read through this 1858 book.

The author labeled the breech loader and revolver "Aberrent Systems"...then spent 3 pages apologizing for even mentioning these in his book.


He did not discuss British-made center-break guns at all though he mentions that the system has found "some favor" in Britain (and he misspells "Lefaucheux").


He did spend a lot of time on the Prince bolt action breech loader and lauded it - and the book has the most complete explanation of the superiority of the Prince over the just adopted Enfield .577 rifle-musket.
