wappenschaw1868

1868 Morning Star 9 Jan. 5/6 At Edinburgh, on New Year's Day, the Wappinschaw was celebrated. Years ago this, we believe, was a gathering at which the country side shot, with homely smooth-bore pieces, for hams and cheeses, but until revived in 1866 the custom had long fallen into disuse. In that year the Wappinschaw was rehabilitated by the local volunteers.

1869 Pall Mall Gaz. 2 July 6 The Aberdeen Volunteer wapinschaw was held yesterday. The chief prize..was won by Ensign Niven.

b. South African. Used to render Dutch wappenschouwing (see wappenschawing n.), applied by the Boers to a rifle-shooting competition.
