By the way, Michael do you know the size and calibre of weapon from a the small photo? Do you have a high quality photo of this?

Alexander,

I of course have known that piece and am aware that it's in my library but cannot remember where. I recall though it's a very old b/w photo only.

If you tell me the title of the catalog (or in what museum it is) I will take 'revenge' with a best possible scan.

Best,
Michael

Thanks for the link, Alexander.
Superb pictures, specially those of the firemasters ... and the firemaster horse (?).
