I take it there where no busty madchen in the Coburg elite arquebrasiers? (little word joke)
  Not really a big diference but i think you meant #4713 (" VR above a hammer and two stars, is identified as 'Old' Stockel, Haandskydevaabens Bedømmelse, #4714" )

One wonders whether Ahtagot has seen Michael's enlightening or, as he is not yet a regular member, might not have accessed this thread again.
... in which case, he could not yet show his appreciation

Hi Nando,
You probably are right; I did not take that possiblity into consideration. Basically, I am very glad to receive a reply; after all, posting all these facts meant a few hours work for me, spent searching and digitalizing the right and apt photos of exactly similar pieces, just to enble a valid and optimum comparison. Best, Michl |

Michael thank You for this detail photos of breech loading petronel. Do You know something about locking mechanism of this petronel? Have the locking button spring or it have fixation by only dog behind the button?

Hi Alexender,
Nice to hear from you again! Please see my photos in my thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...h+loading+1540 Especially see post #5ff! That system of locking the rear section of the barrel of a breech -loading piece by bolts activated by pulling back the rear sight, obviously was invented in Augsburg in the 1530's; it is first known from this wheellock arquebus dated 1540, and from other contemporary pieces, and it basically remained unaltered for centuries thereafter. Best, Michael |
