A little bonjour from Normandy-France

[flntlokr]

Good afternoon!
I am a Lefaucheux gun collector in France and saw several topics about him on the forum, so I signed up to study them.
Have a good weekend

I found a 16 guage pinfire shotgun rotting away in a basemen. I cleaned it up and made a new stock just so I could hang it on the wall.

You use perfect common-usage English! Are you really actually French?

Hey, I have friends in York Co., also, was up to Dixon's yesterday, too; scouted up to Kempton where the Gun Maker's Fair will be in July 2022. Neat little railroad there, the Wanamaker & Kempton.

Welcome!! But pinfire and other cartridge guns are not supposed to be discussed here. Along with modern in-lines. Mr mod will be here soon.

Hi,

I haven't been here long, but this place is perfect for me, the guys here are very nice company and good technicians.
So I pulled a log, sat on it and put my bag beside me...
It's going to be a change from one of the French forums you've experienced, you can believe me...

Bienvenue à bord.

Where are you from in Normandy ?

I'am from high normandy , in the middle of a triangle Rouen-Amiens-Beauvais

Maastricht...... en waarom niet Waterloo of Trafalgar!

Yes, but Casimir Lefaucheux has made also muzzle guns ....

Als ik het me goed herinner, wonnen onze Franse vrienden de tweede plaats in zowel Waterloo als Trafalgar, en het beleg van Maastricht vond plaats in een eerdere oorlog...

If I remember correctly, our French friends 'won' second place in both battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar, although the siege of Maastricht took place in an earlier war.

I don't know much about the Napoleon wars, and the writing of my name is not the same, however the origin is from there.
