File:Krag-Petersson Round on breechblock.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krag-Petersson_Round_on_breechblock.jpg (150 × 79 pixels, file size: 5 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

A photo taken from the left side of the Krag-Petersson, showing the action in the down position with a round of ammo in the 'bed'. To fire the weapon, the shooter would have to manually insert the round in the chamber by pushing it forward. The uncropped, unresized original is available here, or at least was available the 18th August 2005.

Fair use for Krag–Petersson

[edit]

The image Krag-Petersson_Round_on_breechblock.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyrighted I (WegianWarrior 06:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

  1. No public domain image of the Krag-Petterson with a round of ammo on the 'bed' of the breechblock could be found. Only 975 of these rifles were manufactured in the first place, and production ended before 1880. Less than a handful exists today, and even less in an original state. Therefore it's impossible or near impossible to replace this image, since the uploader would need to own one that is in its original state and ammunition for it to recreate the image.
  2. It is of lower resolution than the original image, as well as cropped. It can therefore not be used to reproduce good copies.
  3. The photo is used for informative and educational purposes only.

I, the uploader, also feels that the photo adds significant value to the article, as it makes it much easier to visualise the way the Krag-Petersson operates. WegianWarrior 06:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
