I bought this some time ago, actually I got Matchlock to scurry up to Nuremberg to bid for me, and it seems to me that it might benefit from being stocked in an era appropriate style.

Nothing fancy, perhaps something along these lines

You will see that there is a groove that was chizeled out for a pan, I;d probably fabricate something and age it so it would fit. Then I would need a matchlock, or serpentine along these lines.

I'd appreciate any thoughts ideas etc.

This barrel is interesting in that it is dated 1507. My old pal was of the opinion that it was the second earliest dated barrel known.
