Two Bronze Haquebut Barrels, ca. 1500

[Matchlock]

Two from a series, obviously in excavated or salvaged condition, unfortunately heavily cleaned, the stocks inadequately replaced.

How inadequate are the stocks, Michl ?
... Slightly ... totally?

[Matchlock]

The 'buttstocks' with their fantasy copper mounts are just horrible. :mad:
Contemporary tiller stocks would have been long, straight and slender.
