Thanks so much for sharing this, Alexander,
A dating of ca. 1430 is exactly correct, and it's one of the earliest handguns equipped with a hook. Actually this is to be defined as one of the latest small stone throwing guns (Steinbüchse), with an overall length of ca. 60-70 cm, including the long iron tiller. The only pity about it is its acid cleaned and consequently riuned surface. I will post some of my own pics of this item later. Best, Michael |
