Hi Alexander the Great
 ,Another great and astonishing find, thank you very much for sharing! I think your dating is exactly right, and post the photoshopped (though low-rez) pics. Thanks again, Michael |

It seems that hook has been broken. Look at the Berns chronics. We can see the muzzle neb of absoulutly similar shape.
Michael, i remember that You discussed barrel that looks like this cut in half http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...2091&highlight But I think that it is not early 15 century. I guess it much later By the way this museum is not so far from Saint-Petersberg. So, It is possibly that I will visit this museum to make some photos of this handgonne |

  ) I have to admit you were right: that curious double barrel haquebut actually should be dated 'late 15th c.' as well!Thank you so much again, and of course additional images would be great if you could take them! And as to the hook, I of course agree it was either cut of broken off. Best, Michael |
