[Zürich] : ["Gesellschaft der Constafleren und Feurwerkern im Zeughause zu Zürich"], [1763].

The Zurich military society ("Gesellschaft der Constafleren und Feurwerkern im Zeughause zu Zürich"), Zurich's preeminent military company at the time, set itself the task of training a powerful basic unit through regular exercises.
