Playfair Arendeen ?

[armedandsafe]

I'm pretty good at answering questions on the how-to's of making smoke, but I don't have weapon history in me. Somebody on another forum presented this question, and I thought I'd ask here:

Ever hear of a double barrel precussion named, Playfair Arendeen?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks much fal308. I'll pass on the information. I figured this was a good place to get accurate information.
