Battle of Magenta
The Battle of Magenta was fought near the town of Magenta in Lombardy in northern Italy. The battle was part of the Second Italian War of Independence. The Franco-Sardinian army consisted almost entirely of French troops.
Napoleon III outmaneuvered the Austrian forces after crossing the Ticino River and thereby forced the Austrians to retreat. The French victory proved decisive for the outcome of the war. After the battle, the Austrian commander-in-chief was recalled to Vienna, and Emperor Franz Joseph I himself took command of the forces until the final defeat at Solferino. The French commander Patrice Mac-Mahon was ennobled and given the title Duke of Magenta.

The end of the paper cartridge is torn of and the powder is poured into the chamber. The bullet with paper wrapping is then inserted into the chamber. For best results, tear off excess paper below the bullet, but keep the paper patching.
The cap is placed on the nipple. For safety reasons, make sure that you keep the chamber away from face and body.
Apply pressure to the front of the chamber with your thumb, and move the crank forward.
