About Caspar Kalthoff
"Mathias Kalthoff, Peter's brother, joined him in Copenhagen and also made those ingenious magazine firearms, while Peter subsequently received a monopoly to make them in France. Another Kalthoff, Caspar, went to London ca. 1650 and and was later joined by his son of the same name. They significantly improved the mechanism, introducing the innovative cylindrical breech which operated vertically rather than horizontally." FIREARMS IN COLONIAL AMERICA - p 107
