Beautifully done maestro Michael!!!! Your forensic assessment skills on medieval firearms is phenomenal, and its amazing how quickly you recognize the exact nature of even incomplete items!!!

Thank you for sharing this Alex.

Thank you so much, Jim,

But this is too much praise for me.

As this is what I have been both studying and collecting for more than 30 years I really guess I would have to be ashamed, were I not as good as I am. My life's work would have been a mere waste of time.

Very best wishes as always,
Michael
