A Unique Double Barrel Bronze Tiller Haquebut, North Germany, ca. 1420

Although the original tiller stock may not have looked much like your interpretation, the outcome is really fantabulous.

Again: how about founding and drilling a barrel of a length of one meter? Can you do that?

Best,

I must say I really like your tiller, even if it is unlikely that the original would have had such a nice design. I presume that you have fired it and I am curious about overall and maximum accurate range.

Hi Alexander,

Here is the site:

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.

Best,
Michael
