Dear Fernando,

Thank you very much for providing this info. There is an amazing amount of information there and some that are of great interest to me. Could you pl. let me know what the label for the matchlock with a scrolled butt in the center of image No. 5 states and who it belongs to. Is it from Rainer Daehnhardt's collection? I assume that it is the same as Nos. 9 and 11.

Regards.

Anan.

Hi Anan,
The example you refer is reportedly a Portuguese-Singhalese specimen, from the XVII century, built on the portuguese snap-match-principle.
Pictures 9 and 11 are indeed details of the same piece.
The example below, in the same picture, is a Singhalese specimen from the XVIII century, also based in the portuguese principle of the period.
Both belong to Rainer Daenhnardt collection.
Fernando

Dear Fernando,

Thank you very much for this info., which confirms my thinking. I would assume there is no catalogue of the exibition illustrating these; is there?

Once again thank you very much for providing this important information.

I owe you one.

Best Regards.

Anan.
