Hi Bolek,

Taking these pictures is both hard and expensive. I have been trying to do my best here but please allow me to repeat my former idea that our forum really needs to receive good photos of early original guns from Eastern European museums, not of replicas!

These items are on display in almost all castles, also the provincial ones!
That's what good colleagues do anyway - it's a game of give and take.


Best,
Michael
