Hi Michael,
There should be some kind of dope, to administer to early barrels; to put them spitting out whether they acted as single or multi weapons

Brilliant idea, Fernando,

These items are kinda addictive anyway ...

A closely related specimen at the Musée de l'Armée, Paris, dated to around 1380 by the museum people which is almost 100 years too early in my opinion.

The general shape, the swamping of both the rear end and the muzzle, as well as the proportions and the moulded touch hole are very similar.
