	Played with the contrast a bit. This may show up a bit better for some: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

They began w/ the French arms, per the contracts to a Tulle, though that means they appeared earlier. While your design is certainly striking, it does differ from early French fusils - which is OK, as yours is truly custom and sharp looking! On early arms, the breech section was tapered octagonal and the smallest width of the octagonal section width was just the height of the rounded band. Also, the last 2" of the edges between the top flats that showed, were faceted to 16-flats. Looks great!
