More snap tinderlocks which so far have been misinterpreted as matchlocks.
As we often see thick matchcord wrapped either around the forestocks of the guns or the arms of the arquebusier we must assume that the match was used to ignite the small pieces of tinder shown in the tubular heads of the serpentines. Best, Michael |
