So there would be two ignitions; the primer in the pan and the actual charge? Was this done to ensure a more controlled discharge as opposed to a fuse or lighting up the actual touchhole?
Yes, these items came in 2 lots from the same auction where there were a number of other cannon-type items for sale; they went very reasonably(or so I thought so), and so I did what I usually do when I don't know anything about the item(s), ..... I bought them. Instant collection, lol.
