Salaams Rick ~ I agree. However I couldnt get to the answer as your references didn't quite finish the issue..What we have is a Portuguese system injected/adopted into the far eastern style and modified by different countries therein. Someone out there will be able to stick the tail on the donkey no doubt.  Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |

Salaams Cerjak ~ I thoroughly enjoyed going through the excellent reference and noted that the weapon is probably Dai Viet 18/19 C according to Thuong Luong at your reference. Though this is a broad and varied subject I believe you have solved the issue. Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |

Rainer Daehnhardt in his book "The Bewitched Gun: the Introduction of the Firearm in the Far East by the Portuguese" explains how the short lived European (Bohemian) version of the snap matchlock was brought to various Southeast Asian countries by way of the Portuguese. It is a very interesting book with text in both English and Portuguese.
