    Great video Le Chap!
    Complete tangent from the video: I noticed the woodworking bench to your left. Is that yours or was it in the workshop when you bought the house? Besides firearms, I'm a hobbyist furniture maker. Can't help but seeing the box-joints or dovetails on the lower part of the workbench.

    very interesting, I run into and owed several of these French 1867 conversions that had been made into sporting 12g shotguns. Found these in the 70s/80s in the Taree area NSW Australia

    It's always interesting to see how much information especially regarding patents and foreign patents just kept being repeated and only recently are people actually going into the records to see what actually was being done. One of the benefits of digitisation of the records, I can only presume on top of concerted effort.

    Well done young Chap. I understood that a French joint Schneider/Snider patent was a compromise impelled by Louis Napoleon. Without wishing to upset Jacob Snider’s family with details but he was suffering from a disease in the latter part of his life which had the capacity to interfere with his judgement which might explain the weird paradox plan. I can explain further in private should you wish. One can see bits of Snideryness even back to Tudor times in England never mind the essential Krnkaness of the overall concept. Fascinating to see it all brought together by a proper patent engineer. BTW I suppose it is my Alsatian genes that make me pronounce Schneider in the German manner, as do the Anglophones which is only German but with a French grammar.

    • @thebotrchap

    Hmm.. I suspect Snider made the most dosh out of the deal (not an easy achievement in the small arms world!)
    Would you consider the Soper to be the final iteration of the marque..? I think it as being a "self acting" version of the Krinka..!

    • @thebotrchap
      @thebotrchap 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Snider made very little at all, even out of the British. Then as now, litigation drains bank accounts.
      Yes, the Soper is very much an optimized Krnka

      Yes sorry Krnka not Krinka. There was a chap, now since deceased, who used to shoot a Soper at the Imperial Historic. I was very much taken with it.. sort of like a British Werder in terms of optimisation!

      Nevertheless there were tens of thousands of commercial Sniders all dutifully carrying the Snider patent mark. I have been told that the British government made a one off purchase of the patent rights to use in their own arms but the rest were commercially subject to the Snider patent. I do note that, for all the claims of poverty Jacob Snider kept his family in America and had his own lodgings in London and is buried in an expensive cemetery.@@thebotrchap

    Since you claim expertise in old 19th Century firearms patents; perhaps you can assist me in relocating who made the 1848 German pinfire revolver patent, so I can study the source

    • @thebotrchap
      @thebotrchap 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I claim nothing of the sort. No idea how far back German records go, bearing in mind that in 1848 Germany was not unified so you would first need to track down the location, state/dukedom/principality at the time and hope records extend that far back.
