I should mention that the 1548 double pistol is stocked in limewood, as are my early Landsknecht harquebuses made in Nürnberg, dated 1539, and the one probably made in Suhl in about 1540, the stock of the latter branded with a plow, the city arms of Straubing/Lower Bavaria.

Here are the links to my former posts on these two fine pieces:
