  ) I have to admit you were right: that curious double barrel haquebut actually should be dated 'late 15th c.' as well!Thank you so much again, and of course additional images would be great if you could take them! And as to the hook, I of course agree it was either cut of broken off. Best, Michael |

Hi Alexander,
The shape of this mid-15th c. tiller barrel without showing an accentuated, reinforced breech is highy unusual indeed. There is another, similar though preserved in the famous Princely collection at Konopiste Castle, Czechia: tiller stock missing, barrel ca. 1450, length 49.5 mm, cal. 39 mm! Best, Michael |

I marked the touchhole which markes the beginning of the breech (powder chamber); behind it is the tiller socket (now empty).
