Fernando you are 100% correct in all your statements. I have only meant to imply , that in these small somewhat isolated areas the history of relationship between gonne barrels and bollers , may have been preserved, from these areas . I think it would be ridiculous to imply that these devices never where used in other ways. And I have no knowledge of other European boller types in a fixed and large sample over a long time period . My other point was why so many medieval gonne barrels where persevered in a small geographical area , dating from the same 30 year or so period , and of the same general type . The point about , being made for or as , was a response to auctions commonly calling bollers hand cannon !
