Thank you so much, Andi,


Yes, I spent the same accuracy and painstaking examination before buying this one as in all my acquisitions ...


Best,
Michael

Thank you so much, Alexender, my dear friend,


For your heartfelt words!

Though in bad physical shape I must try to carry on somehow for as long as it goes.


Thanks again,
and with all my very best wishes,
Michael

Default Some of Peter Peck's other works

1. A double-barreled wheellock pistol, ca. 1540-45, made for the Emperor Charles V, Metropolitan Museum of Art, N.Y.

2. Another double-barreled wheellock pistol, ca. 1535-40, also made for the Emperor Charles V, in the Real Armerķa Madrid, and a close-up of the barrel marks and the inside of the lock mechanism. Madrid.
Before ca. 1570, Peter Peck, who reached a great age, usually struck his mark twice.

3. A wheellock pistol, ca. 1540-45, also made for Charles V, Madrid.

4. A pair of early wheellock pistols, for Charles V, ca. 1535, Peck's mark struck only once. Madrid.

5. An extremely fine and important wheellock breechloading arquebus, ca. 1540-45, Historisches Museum Dresden.

The latest san giorgio sale of 23 of februari 2014 had a very nice double barreled wheel lock pistol with double lock as well. I only got this picture because the picture proggram they use doesn't work (or almost never) on my pc
Maybe someone else can post them while the catalogue is still online.
