The following photos were taken by Herman Historica, when this snap matchlock came up for sale, in November, 2017.

These pictures are attached for posterity and in memory of our good friend and teacher, Michael Tromner.

Michael was brilliant and never more so than on early firearms. It would be fitting to honour his work by opening a

"Forum Hall of Honour"

in which his superb threads (and those of other fine members now gone) could be specially placed.. In a tribute to them and as an inspiration to others.

Isn't that the same as the Classic thread section?

Absolutely Marcus,
Some dozen of his high end topics are listed in "Classic threads", those which were elected to be there by Michl himself.

I see more merit in backing up the threads made by Michael on a second server/database, this way we will never loose the thread like the Trade mark thread.
