The attachments depict Bohemian pipe guns (German: Böhmische oder Hussiten-Pfeifen) from the 1430's, preserved at the Museum of Tabor, Czechia.
They all retain their rear original sockets, the hafts are modern replacements. The socketed barrel shown on all images is 42 cm long overall including the socket, its bore 20 mm. For more on that type of longarms cf. my threads: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ontjuic+castle http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=montjuic m Last edited by Matchlock; 20th July 2014 at 12:26 AM. |

Attached find my email and letter to Rob Stevens of the RA Leeds on 20 July 2014; as my email is still kind of broken I had it sent through a friend of mine.
I wonder if the RA reply - and if they do, what ... Of course I am going to have Rob linked with this post as well. Best, Michael |
