Full box of 16g that I plan on loading and shooting

A nice 16g boxwood hand roll turnover tool for pinfire cartridges

A leather holder for 10 16g pinfire shotshells

This is a 10g pinfire shotgun that was manufactured in Liège, Belgium by the luxury gun maker, E. Bernard. It was retailed by Brun-Latrige of Saint-Étienne, France.

I had the opportunity to photograph some of my friend’s collection of early needlefire cartridges.

Here are some examples that were made for the Chassepot rifle. The collection contains specimens with explosive tips, armor piercing bullets, blanks, and ball rounds with both paper and linen cases.
