Thank you for looking, my Russian is limited to two or three words so :P

Hi Marcus,

I'll do my best, but I'm afraid it is a pretty obscure topic and while I can manage to read enough to get some images finding dimensions I think will depend if there is any published work on these examples in Bulgaria. I have access to a few academic resources and will see what I can find.

A quick search did not produce any results. But I have tried emailing a few contacts I found for the museum, I have some doubts I will get a reply but it is worth a chance....

Some progress! No dimensions yet I'm afraid but I've been in contact with the Varna museum.

The guns in question actually appear to be at the following museum. http://www.varnenchikmuseum.com/Eng

I was given contact information for this museum and have written them. So hopefully I'll have a result for you soon!

Perfect, that is exactly what i wanted to know. Though i am suprised by the weight of the pieces beeing so light.. the measurements are the really interesting part.
Did they also include pictures by any chance?
