The voorlaaiers were most probably manufactured in Italy!!Tongue

 

Obviously you know as much of weapons and weaponry as you know of bicycles and groupsets. Most voorlaaiers were Tower Musket manufactured by the Enfield Armoury Company in Britain in the early 1800's, further modifications to the Enfield lock design was made by Pritchett and Greener. This same rifle was made by Springfield in America and extensively used during the Civil War.

 

If you know anything at all of weapons you would have also noticed that most the makers names given above are still today actively producing weaponry. I still have a delightfull Greener 410 shotgun, a original Lee Enfield ,303 made in 1917 and a M1 garand Rifle made by the Springfield Armoury prior to WW 2.

 

Boetie, moenie probeer slim wees waar jy heeltemal buite jou leauge is nie....... konsentreer eerder op goeters soos koeksister en pannekoek resepte en dies meer en los die fietsry, rugby en gewere vir die grootmense.
