Do da name Stanislaus Paczelt mean anything to anybody? According to some sites I hit searching for more info, he invented an in-line flint ignition system for some rifles he built in the 1730's. Would like to see a schematic of the design. Stuff like that tweeks my curiosity.
He was Czech/Bohemian.
