Footnotes
Lambertus Michaelis Thone, probably the most important gunmaker in Amsterdam at the end of the 18th century, was born in Liège, and became an Amsterdam burgher on 17 July 1781. From 1801 he worked with his son, A. Thone, under the signature 'Thone & Zoon'. See G. de Vries and B.J. Martens, Hartmans' Dutch Gunmakers..., 2010, p. 174-175
