I wished to give the source of the period artwork posted by Alexender in post #1.

It is taken from the cod. germ. 734, dated to ca. 1460-70, a so-called Büchsenmeisterei-Buch (book on gunnery), preserved in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Munich.

Concerning our interests, it also contains the illustrations attached.
