The crossbow shown in post 123, with cranequin and arrow is from Paris.

Great, Micke,
 Thank you so much. By Paris I guess you are referring to the Musée de l'Armée. When I was there by appointment, I sadly had to find out that the medieval department was closed. Could you please let me know whether the attached quarrel casket is also there? (all images copied from the site quoted in post 123). Please do post more images anyway - some folks here are definitely waiting to see you sharing your archives!!!  Btw, here is the fine Paris crossbow, ca. 1460-70, together with a matching late-15th c. cranequin. Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 21st April 2012 at 10:55 PM. |

Oh yes, Micke, Shame on me!  The same photo, only smaller, is contained in Reverseau's 1982 book Musée de l'Armée - Les armes et la vie, which of course is in my library but I somehow overlooked it. Still: do you have any other photos to post? Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 22nd April 2012 at 10:07 PM. |

14th and 15th C. Crossbows Employed on Horseback!
Such pieces of period artwork are quite rare to detect.
The first instance dated 1461, the lower two ca. 1340, all from Swiss manuscripts. At bottom a 1480's illustration from the Wolfegg Hausbuch, fol. 51v-52r, showing a crossbow in its quiver suspended from the saddle. m Last edited by Matchlock; 28th April 2012 at 04:49 PM. |

This Nuremberg workshop arrow mark is also found on the barrels of matchlock Landsknecht arquebuses preserved in the Bayerisches Armeemuseum Ingolstadt, together with the same date 1537; this group of arquebuses was restocked in 1619 (two images attached).
My question: From where is the information that thes arquebuses were restocked in 1619? Best |
