Re: Africa vintage pic thread

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.
