Although if you shipped it to me i could always find out whether the object inside the barrel is indeed a bullet or some kid's marble

"Handbüchse
Posted By Clemens on 27. März 2013

Diese Handbüchse befindest sich im Museumsdepot des Märkischen Museums. Sie ist auf den Anfang des 15. Jahrhundert datiert. Gefunden wurde sie in Friesak und wird den Quitzows zugeordnet."

I think that correct date is about 1500 +- a few years

Beautiful barrel, Spiridonov! Very nicely made.

Hi Alexander, Thank you for adding these valuable images. You are absolutely correct with your dating of this barrel, it is just like mine of the 1500s.
Do you have the measurements of the bore diameter?

It seems this barrel used to have a hook. You do not see it often that they brake of.

Also the provenance of the Quitzow familie can not be true, there house died off in the early 1400s. There does not seem to have been any big conflict around the 1500s but only during the thirty years war.
