Fantastic examples !
I like the term 'younger'

We are not talking about girls though ...

The most interesting point I think is that in these close-ups we can exactly study how these indispensable tools were made - for probably the first time ever. It seems to me that the later they are the more complicated they were manufactured.

Btw, I think this is a topic just customized to our friend Richard ...

Best,
Michl

Snap-tinderlock arquebuses from the armories of Maximilian I; a watercolor by Jörg Kölderer, 1507, fol. 53b.

Please note the piles of unstocked barrels, both of wrought iron and brass, of ramrods, and the single detached brass barrel shown at the bottom which in each detail corresponds to the ones discussed here.
