A Stocked Haquebut, ca. 1515, at The Tojhusmuseet Copenhagen
The lock plate und butt trap cover missing, the wrought iron barrel ca. 1470-80, the sling hook now loose.

I know.
 All I can do is give a date as close and correct as possible by my experience; I have never seen a complete lock plate (which the recess in the stock proves this piece originally was equipped with) or a butt trap or a thumb recess in historic sources that could be dated any earlier. As I have stated, the barrel is some 30-40 years older and has been restocked during its working time. Best, Michael |

Stocked Haquebuts of ca. 1510-20 at The Town Hall of Retz, Lower Austria
Preserved there are 18 of them!
The barrels are somewhat older than their present stocks, ca. 1480. Michael |

This arquebus (at top) is dating as 1500. This (below) you date as 1470-80. They are very VERY similar. Why there is a difference of 20-30 years?
