History of de La Haye:
François de la Haye. (Also called frans or françois) was born as franciscus servatius van den haeven, son of pierre de la haye. (Later the family will call themselves de la haye), from a family of gun makers. Occasionally he worked with his brother Michael. Rifle manufacturing is a thriving branch of craft and industry in what was then Maastricht. Maastricht gun makers enjoyed world fame in the 17th and 18th centuries, and Maastricht guns, especially the ivory decorative pistols, are highly sought after, and can still be admired in all major museums in Europe (except, of course, in Maastricht itself!). At the age of 32, françois de la haye buys a house in the sint-jorisstraat, which later turns out to bear the name "den Coninck van Denmarken", a name probably given by françois himself, because, among other things, he worked for Frederik iv , king of Denmark. He also has a house in the Boschstraat, called "den swaen", and a house on the Vrijthof, called "den dauphin". Franciscus was a very wealthy and influential gunmaker. He lived most of his life on the Vrijthof in a house called 'Dolphin'. and wherever he had his workshop. He produced namely between 1704 and 1750, later he buys a house in the Battery Street. In 1726 he is the most important gunsmith in Maastricht, François de la Haye, received an order for 120 snap haunce guns with bayonets. He stated to only use well dried walnut wood and the barrels will have to be tried 'with goet cruyt according to maestrichts gebruyck' (quality gunpowder as is the custom in Maastricht). In 1739 and in 1745 françois de la haye, together with his colleague Godefroy Corbeau, received two "million orders" from the states of holland : the first order concerns the delivery of a batch of 15,000 snap cocks with bayonets, to be delivered per 500 in the country's warehouse in delft. Our two maastricht rifle makers are in competition for this with the best rifle makers from other cities such as Utrecht and Names. The fact that they ultimately win the order shows that maastricht has the industrial capabilities to carry out such a large order. The two gun makers call in "suppliers" from the region for this. The manufacture of gun barrels is contracted out in Liège country (forêt en vaux-sous-olne), and the making of stocks from walnut wood is contracted out in Oirsbeek. The two partners receive a second "million dollar order" in 1745, this time for the delivery of 10,000 Snaplocks. The industrial workshop of François is his home on the west side of the Vrijthof, the current number 30. His studio is running at full speed, but causes so much nuisance to the neighborhood that people complain to the city council about it. In fact, horns are burned from time to time, which causes a penetrating and unbearable stench throughout the neighborhood and on the streets. The stench is so bad that on July 11, 1740, the city council decides to prohibit François de la Haye from continuing to burn horns, and asks him to carry out his work in a place that cannot give rise to complaints. François de la haye, of course, counter-argues that the burning of horns is necessary in the manufacturing process of guns, but then asks the council for permission to carry out his work in a house he has rented to the cumble, which the council grants. The burning of horns was used in the production process of the time to harden the surface of the iron. In doing so, the iron parts of the guns were laid in ashes of burnt horns. You can imagine that it smelled horribly. It was not the first time that françois de la haye got into a fight with the neighbors about the stench of burning horns.... François de la haye died at the age of 79. On January 29, 1753, he was buried in St Catherine's Church. Only a few signed copies of his production have survived. His son Angel Michael de la Haye then completed that job after his death and continued his father's business.

His studio is running at full speed, but causes so much nuisance to the neighborhood that people complain to the city council about it. In fact, horns are burned from time to time, which causes a penetrating and unbearable stench throughout the neighborhood and on the streets. The stench is so bad that on July 11, 1740, the city council decides to prohibit François de la Haye from continuing to burn horns, and asks him to carry out his work in a place that cannot give rise to complaints. François de la haye, of course, counter-argues that the burning of horns is necessary in the manufacturing process of guns, but then asks the council for permission to carry out his work in a house he has rented to the cumble, which the council grants. The burning of horns was used in the production process of the time to harden the surface of the iron. In doing so, the iron parts of the guns were laid in ashes of burnt horns. You can imagine that it smelled horribly. It was not the first time that françois de la haye got into a fight with the neighbors about the stench of burning horns.... François de la haye died at the age of 79. On January 29, 1753, he was buried in St Catherine's Church. Only a few signed copies of his production have survived. His son Angel Michael de la Haye then completed that job after his death and continued his father's business.
