The museum referred me to the mayor of Murrhardt who reffered me to the person in charge of the archaeological state agency working on the find. Today I received the answer.
As I already assumpted (due to the circumstances of the find and its preservation status) it is a modern piece. Quote:
The piece from Morrhardt is obviously a replica of the early 20th century of the well known handgonne found in Schwedt / Uckermark (published in Waffen- und Kostümkunde 11, 1969). Known by you. The Murrhardt object was made of a modern DEGUSSA alloy showing no signs of wear or usage. It would have been to nice to be true. So the Schwedt (Danzig) handgonne still is a unique piece. N.B. May one of the mods please amend the title of this thread from "15 century" to "modern"? In order not to confuse the readers. |
