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 |

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. Last edited by Matchlock; 25th February 2014 at 08:03 PM. |

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.
