I was wondering when you would get to Erskine!

Erskine definitely made his loading machines for pinfire. I have one and know of others. His patent on them only shows the pinfire variation in fact.

His multiple patents on the guns were for pinfire too.


I recently bought the Erskine patents and will scan them in and post them to my website in the next day or two.

Edit: The 1887 Erskine patent was for a different type of machine, not the one you pictured. I didn't buy that patent as it did not have to do with pinfire. Here is the "Abridgments of Specifications" for it.
