Two late wheellock grenade launchers.
The first of Netherlandish manufacture, ca. 1630, in the Musee de l'Armee, Paris.
The second probably Strasbourg, now preserved in the National Museum Krakow; contrary to what the description states, the stock is absolutely contemporary and the gun can be safely attributed to ca. 1655-60.
And one of the latest grenade launchers, flintlock, ca. 1730, in the Army Museum Stockholm.
