I fully agree with all you said, Richard.

Exchanging posts with you is at least as inspiring as it is rewarding.

Thanks a lot,

Michael

... called Luntenschloss-Drehling in German.

In the Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nürnberg.

Thanks for the pictures, Michael

I seem to remember seeing a photo of a very nice German revolving matchlock in the museum in St Petersburg, or whatever they call it these days!
If time permits I'll look for the picture.

Best wishes,

R.

Hi Michael,

Up to now I have only found one rather poor picture of the revolving matchlock from the Hermitage museum, but Somewhere I do have two much better pictures.
I will do my best to find them for you.

Richard,

I think the first one is the matchlock that you took photos of.

Please check if you got some of the others, too - thanks.
