Great pictures by your friend, Alexander. The haquebut seems untouched overall.
The museum did date the piece a bit to early as the pronounced muzzle section would make this piece date around the 1460/70s. The bore diameter seems to be original too, don't you think? ![]() |

Some years ago I contacted the museum regarding information about the provenance of this piece. But there are no information available when or from where Baumann has got it.

Should i discrepancy in the museum description ?
If it has a recoil hook is a wall haquebut and not a horseman handbüchse ... right ? |

As far as I am informed many of the object on display in this museum came from a very well known dealer in southern Germany. So maybe that this gun is from the same origin.

Fernando,
Happy New Year! I wonder about the hook. Should it not be integral with the barrel ? This hook appears attached to the stock and not part of the barrel. Can this be correct? I though our dear Matchlock taught us otherwise. Best wishes, R. |

It could be both true, as this illustration depicts. A Similar weird hook can be found with this gun http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=Steinb%FCchse |
