I was looking for a long time for a pic showing the use of the portuguese Kropatchek rifle in africa not hunting but here it is This picture is obtained from Jaime Regalado's book "Cuamatos 1907". A Kropatchek equipped artillery platoon, fired their Kropatchek rifles against the enemy. The artillery gun is a 70mm mountain gun mod.1882, with Krupp gun breech and Portuguese made barrel. This photo is made during the Angola campaign of 1907. http://members.upc.nl/a.gelderen7/ our older south african members may recognise the landscape |
