| It always is there with men of Bertie's order, and only comes to light when the match of danger is applied to the touchhole. |
| When I went online, I found one source that offers a repro with no hole drilled for the touchhole so it can be sold in England as a showpiece. |
| Pulling up on the bottom of the serpentine brought the tip of the match down into contact with powder in the flashpan, a small, saucer-shaped depression surrounding the touchhole atop the barrel. |
| The first charge was twenty pounds of powder, not more than nineteen of them running out of the touchhole. |
| When loading for hunting, place a touchhole pick fully into the touch hole. |
| Firing was apparently accomplished by applying a red-hot wire to a touchhole drilled through the top of the thickest part of the breech. |
