Charles V's Inventario Iluminado
Note the original scabbards that once had accompanied the guns, and the small leather pouches attached to them for accouterments!
Although these water colors have sadly only been published in b/w, it has actually been possible to even identify a few suriving items.
On display in the Real Armeria in Madrid there are small-size color copies from the Inventario Iluminado.
So, folks, if anybody out there got contacts to the Madrid museum staff and could get me high-resolution copies - that would sure help a lot.
