Hi Alexander,
Here is the site: http://gunneyg.info/Morko/html/MorkoWideBand.htm I saved all those photos and the author's statements concerning the (art) history of the gun, so here they are. The tiller stock a portion of which is seen in the first photo is a modern reconstruction but most probably comes very near the original.

Here are the screen shots from the linked web site:
http://gunneyg.info/Morko/html/MorkoWideBand.htm I differ from Richard Connell's statement that superficial letters were usually not used in the Gothic period just to fill in an empty space. At times when craftsmen like bronze founders could not normally read or write the only way for a learned person to convey a description desired to be appear on a work of art was writing the letters down for the founder to copy. E.g., a lot of meaningless inscriptions found on medieval sword blades denote that those letters were often not copied exactly and were primarily used as a magic ornamentation. Thus, an additional letter, meaningless though it obviously was, used to fill in an empty space seems quite understandable from the a Late Gothic craftsman's point of view. m Last edited by Matchlock; 22nd July 2012 at 05:09 PM. |

Hi, I finally found this unique item in an old auction cataloge of 1892 (no typing error!!!) in my private library! It was sold by Heberle/Lempertz Söhne, Köln (Cologne), Germany, forming part of the collection of the Museums Christian Hammer, Stockholm, on 23 May 1892 (!), lot 382, and went straight into the collection of the Natiomal Museum Stockholm!!! Imagine! And what a stunning quality of both photography and printing techniques they had in 1892!!! Best, Michael Grrrr - the image of the piece does not upload ... I often experience that with b/w images - can anybody tell me why??!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Matchlock; 15th November 2013 at 11:57 PM. |

Do you have tried a shorter file name? I downloaded the linked file and opened it after adding .jpg to the file name. Probably you should cut down the file names to less than 32 or better 16 letters. |

I'm taking the liberty of reposting the image here. As Andi mentioned it had the wrong file suffix.

I know - this topic is really old.
![]() But the gun shown from the catalogue of the auction in Cologne is a replica of the original Mörkö gun, of course. At the end of the auction many people thought the original gun has been sold, so the director of the swedish armoury museum wrote an article (in German) to clarify the misunderstanding. ![]() |
