Prélat, importateur du système à percussion, ancien collaborateur associé de Pauly, et inventeur du fusil à foudre ou à capsule, boulette, etc. - Testimonial
Description
From the moment Mr. Lefaucheux's system appeared, I immediately recognized that its closure was the simplest to date; thus, I did not hesitate to be one of the first to deal with the inventor for the exploitation of his system, although this system had not yet achieved all the perfection of which it was capable. Now that the base has come to complete the development of this idea, by sealing off any escape of gas at the moment of explosion, I can affirm that this type of weapon, apart from the known advantages it includes, is capable of competing in terms of durability and strength with the ordinary gun.
Prélat, importer of the percussion system, former associate collaborator of Pauly, and inventor of the primer or capsule gun, pellet, etc.
