Post Description

Description: This catalog contains the first systematically study of Dutch pre-1800 ordnance every to be published. This was made ??possible by te unique selection of muzzle and breechloading ordnance in the Visser Collection. The literature on Dutch ordnance history is extremely scarce, especially on pre-1800 ordnance. This book relies upon the information gleaned from the guns themselves, which have been meticulously measured and recorded by the expert in the field, Mr. Rudi Roth. 16th-18th century Dutch ordnance presents an amazing variety of patterns, produced in a great number of local foundries.
