One last close-up of the muzzle of the Sotheby's gun; next a piece of German period artwork showing a knight on horseback firing an arquebus suspended on a ring, and a three-bareled Chinese handgonne with percussion nipples.

Please see also
http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...d=1#post139355 and this short tiller arquebus of ca. 1430-40 in my collection (attachments). Please note especially the short angularly reinforced breech with the molded touch hole, which is very similar to the one of the first barrel in this thread. m Last edited by Matchlock; 16th May 2012 at 05:56 PM. |
