Phillip Stamma, who was active in the mid 1700’s composed this

I wondered if anyone on here had played a similar combo.
I could not find an exact copy, some came close, but I did trip over this game.
The end is nothing like the Stamma problem but it never the less needs airing.

Black Rook and White Knight do a tango together on the Queenside.

The edit time has run out so I cannot change it.

I'm blaiming SG. He somwhow edited my post and jigged it about.
Might as well make it a double blunder (they always come in two's)
Mate in four.
