Two Bronze Haquebut Barrels, ca. 1500
Two from a series, obviously in excavated or salvaged condition, unfortunately heavily cleaned, the stocks inadequately replaced.

The 'buttstocks' with their fantasy copper mounts are just horrible.
 Contemporary tiller stocks would have been long, straight and slender. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tiller+guns Best, m |
