It is spelled Potsdam, s, not z. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.145.14.208 (talk) 21:56, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Potsdam
editI guess someone vandalised the article? It should be potsdam without a Z - - Wilhelm3 (talk) 13:41, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- The archaic spelling is used because these weapons are identified in collections by the inscription on the lock plate.

- In this example from the 1780s, the lock reads "POTZDAMMAGAZ", meaning "the Arsenal of Potsdam". 184.146.40.174 (talk) 00:57, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Unit Conversions
editUnits conversions to up to 6 decimal places are meaningless. The manufacturing tolerances of the time (e.g. for lengths, probably tenths of mm for small values like bore sizes, or whole mm [~1/32"] for barrel lengths) should be considered when converting units.
