Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Early Matchlock Arquebuses and 'Chain' Balls at the Battle near Orsza, Poland, 1514

As the tinderlocks are not clearly shown in the painting of the Battle near Orsza, I posted some good illustrations here:

- by Diebold Schilling, from his Berne Chronicle, 1483: not very exact, either, as the top of the serpentine holding the piece of tinder is not shown at all

- by Jörg Kölderer, from his illustrated Maximilian Armories Inventories, ca. 1502-07: very exact details!

For tinder- and early-15th to 16th c. matchlocks, please also see my threads
