The Musée de l'Armée in Paris holds this perfectly preserved specimen of a Nuremberg hackbut of ca. 1535-40, complete in all its original parts; it was never fitted with a ramrod.
You can see how close I got to the original by choosing the Ingolstadt lock mechanism as an adequate association.  Interestingly, the tinderholder on the Paris piece is a movable clamp, instead of a wing nut.m Last edited by Matchlock; 31st December 2013 at 07:17 PM. |
