Research Press Journal
Journal is Research Press magazine that features firearms, long range target shooting and military history. Newly written articles and contemporary reprints.
Firearms History
Reference documents relating to firearms history. The first article features the English snaphance lock, one of the most innovative “flint-locks” and probably one of the rarest gun mechanisms to have survived.
Ammunition History
Reference documents relating to ammunition history. ‘Jean Samuel Pauly, Henri Roux, and Successors’ discusses the historical background and events of ammunition development.
Gun Barrel Markings
In three articles, The Crossed Sceptres & Crown Mark, Why The Tombstone?, and English Provincial Makers’ Marks, the authors discuss and illustrate the barrel markings found on provincially made English firearms. They have attempted to summarise the present state of knowledge and have drawn a few inferences. Clearly there is much more work to be undertaken. It is hoped that their efforts may encourage others to investigate the subject further, thereby adding to the history of British gunmaking.
