Hi Kirill,

Thank you for replying so comprehensively.

Yes, I would love to see all the material you can get on those wheellock pistols, the ball mold and the balls!

Could you please send me a PM (private message) on the forum? Just click on my user name 'Matchlock', and you will see the option 'Send Matchlock a private message'. That's it.
I would then reply the same way and provide you with my email, so you could send me all the photos in high resolution - which sadly is not possible on the forum.
Of course, I would ask you to post them here as well, in a thread of their own. I would comment then in detail, posting similar objects and giving a date for the items excavated.

Earliest European firearms and all kinds of related accouterments, ca. 1330-1700, are my field of special expertise.

If you are interested, just read my threads and have fun:
click on 'Matchlock', and you will see the option 'Find all threads started by Matchlock'. There are so many that I cannot remember ...

Best regards and wishes from Bavaria,
Michael
