Thank you so much, 'Nando,
 I received it. Had you told me that is was all about a series of articles in the ZWHK, I could have spared you a lot of time because I got all the original volumes and have been a member of the society for more than 30 years. Thank you as much, Alexender, for your kind offer!Some select assessments and termination in these articles by now have become obsolete. Best, Michl |

Perfectly right, Alexander,
Your input clearly confirms the theory I formlerly posted stating that all contemporary works of arts and crafts unanimously reflected the style common to the respective period - in short: Gothic gun barrels generally looked like contemporary architectural towers and columns! Best, Michael |

Two Portuguese bronze breech-loading cannon pieces, early 16th c. each, and obviously two from a series.

I have found that the attribution of Portuguese'ship to some types of bronze canonry must be an added value, judging by how they baptize numberless examples in Commercial websites
