Hi Spiridonov,
Thank you for uploading and sharing these! I like especially the short handgonne barrel (Steinbüchse, firing stone balls); the date is, as you wrote, ca. 1400. Did you happen to photograph at the Hermitage as well? Greetings, Michael |

Hi Spiridonov,
These are the first good quality images that I have seen of these early Russian guns. The barrels are even older, late 15th century, and were restocked with 'modern' snap tinder lock mechanisms. Thank you so much! Michael |

Hi Spiridonov,
Do you happen to have good photos of these guns at the Hermitage Museum? http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7637 Regards, Michael |
