About the scope of this forum
 

This forum purpose is to primarily provide a place for the study of history and development of arms and armour, from ancient times to the end of the 19th century, firearms included.
Exceptions like modern (vintage) shooting guns post 1900, or modern weapon reproductions that may reflect historical representation, will be understandable in due context but, our scope being the study of actual antique weapons, we prefer to leave their discussion to more specialized venues.
