Matchlock Pistol
In my photo archive I discovered pictures of a matchlock pistol that had marks on the lock and barrel. The barrel shows a snake, as known from Peter Danner from Nuremberg. The lock mark with the letters "L and B" could be interpreted as being made by Lorenz Beheim, also from Nuremberg, if the pistol actually came from this period, which I assume is not the case. I would be happy to hear other opinions.
