Possible haquebut ball

Hi Marcus,

You are right, this is clod shot of unusually pointed form, probably 2nd half 14th c., and for wall guns/haquebuts.

Why all these continuous troubles with the texts of your posts, Michael ?

Have you tried writing with a regular (default) font, size and color ?

Matchlock · 11th August 2014, 08:47 PM

Well, Nando,

That's exactly what I have been trying to tell you for months:

My complete new Office 2013 is broken - WORD and Outlook email included ...
Nothing works out alright ...

Best,
Michl

But, why the need of Outlook and Word ?

Don't you write directly into the post window ... with regular font, size and color working by themselves ?

Hi, my dear friend Nando,

I write most of my posts using WORD, and then copy them here.
It's much easier that way editing and saving them.

So that's why.

Apart from that, I definitely need my Outlook email program to work correctly - more than three months after it was installed, it's still driving me crazy ...
After all, emailing has become my gate to the outside world, to my friends out there; to you ...

Best,
Michl

So sorry to insist but ...
Even knowing that your applications are out of order you don't temporarily post directly in here ?

... Risking frequent results as in post #12 ?
Is it all those recent texts, with large size fonts and alternate multicolor lettering, caused by your WORD malfunction ?
I envy your perseverance .

I understand Michl's position, seeing as he is contributing with more text and pictures than any of us. Typing within this forum is not very accurate when you typ something of over 2000 words

Also the layout changes because the screen in which you typ is only half the width of the layout of the forum

Hopefully the problem can be fixed without having to buy a new PC or laptop.

I got even more pictures of the same person, sadly he is not willing to sell them at the moment. It is kind of a special thing among metal detector enthausiast to find a haquebut bullet. And this particular person has found quite a few in his "career" making him some sort of a king. Some of them even compose a collectors list of items still to be found

the measurments are written on the paper. "taps" means askew/tilted.
