Fassbinder the Steward finds a Gunsmith














Picture heavy, but this is a beautiful piece designed by Herr Wardlaw, originally of Connecticut, but now resident here in Strackenz. Following the recent successful trials of the breech mechanism it is to be adapted to the use of the Legions in their muskets.
This original piece was offered to the Duchess, who graciously returned it along with the honour of recieving a Ducal warrant as Gunsmith for Strackenz.
