Outstanding Berkley!! Thank you so much for the excellent presentation!
I know that I very much enjoy learning more on early firearms, a topic I admittedly have always sidestepped in studying weapons.
Nicely done and much appreciated.

All best regards,
Jim

Excelent,Berkley.
The clearest way to show it.
Eventualy the examples i have within this area, would not be good for such demonstration.
One has a similar shape and decoration, although of poorer quality, without any maker or proof marks, but with a fix barrel.
The other is a Liege marked one, with a screwing facility that is stuck and, despite all reasonal efforts, i could never unscrew it. I think this happens often with this system or, at least, i have already came across with a few cases in the Net.

Although not entirely an idiomatic expression,the term sympathetic used in this context might sound unfamiliar to those who are used to see it envolved with clinic language

.
We have a second and surely more popular use for this term in Portuguese ( and other Latin languages ).
What i mean about Jim postings is that they are pleasant and fair ...as well as peacemaking
