Two similar five-barreled pieces are recorded:
the first 93 cm long, barrel length 35.5 cm; sold Wallis&Wallis, June 16, 1967. Its general design was clearly based on that of German haqbuts and arquebuses of ca. 1500: the buttstock pierced in the same manner (for suspension from the wooden rack in an armory), and the iron barrel retaining ring entwisted on the underside of the stock; the barrels are non-revolving and the back sight closely resembles that on German arquebuses of ca. 1530-40; the second 76.2 cm long, barrel length 26.7 cm, bore 14 mm; Weller&Dufty, January 27, 1967 (not sold). m Last edited by Matchlock; 23rd June 2012 at 03:06 PM. |
