Exactly, 'Nando,
That's why I said 'Napoleonic era, early 19th c.', not confining it to the French army. And I found a lot more interesting stuff on the site of the Canadian Anglo-Boer War Museum, backing up my theory about the period: http://angloboerwarmuseum.com/Boer12...nnonballs.html Btw, I underwent the toil and copied everything here, so enjoy. Your ball looks very authentic, Cerjak! I do not think it is a modern Chinese copy. m Last edited by Matchlock; 17th June 2012 at 09:36 PM. |
