John Norris and Remington Roling block in Scandinavia

Post by Askild- »

Hi!
I'm new to this group and am doing research for my bachelor on the Norwegian small arms factoy Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk.

I want to use this opporunity to ask you fellows if you know anything about the Remington sales agent i Europe, Mr. John Norris, and his sales effort ending in all three Scandinavian countries (Demark, Sweden and Norway) adopting the Remington No. 1 as standard army rifle i 1867. They all baptized it Remingtongevær M/1867.

I remember having read an article on his effort in a militaty history magazine or a collectors magazine sometime between 2008 and 2014 but now I can't find it.

Has anyone seen this article? All information is of interest.

regards
