See what that sleeping Landsknecht guy has rested on his knees!
A 1530's matchlock harquebus with blued iron parts, brass tunnel back sight and heavily swamped muzzle section, the stock left 'in the white'!!!!
Detail of a painting of the Resurrection by Simon Franck, ca. 1540, in the basilica of Aschaffenburg/Northern Bavaria. Michael |

Important 1530's Nuremberg Woodcut - in Color!
Only recently recovered; from flickr.com, with thanks to the original poster there.
Note the powder bandolier with its small tinned iron measures around the shoulder of the arquebus man, and the finely staged brass or bronze barrel and snap matchlock of the arquebus! m |

Ca. 1540.
Note both the characteristic tubular back sight and the shape of the butt stock. m Last edited by Matchlock; 24th March 2012 at 04:43 PM. |
