Jeff, that is wonderful that you have found personal connection to these historic times and through these weapons and your own ancestors. Appreciation of arms study reaches new dimensions when it becomes 'personal' and it is outstanding to have someone with such examples and connections posting here.

The Neumann book is one of the most reliable and profoundly important references on weapon of this period, and one of my most treasured times was meeting him and talking at length in person sharing ideas and observations. I have had his book since it came out in 1972, and trust me, it is well worn!

Thank you for the kind words! here we are all, always learning from each other and together. ...there is always so much more to learn! but that is the joy of it.

All the best,
Jim
