Salaams Matchlock ~ I was looking at some old copies of the Armes Dantan magazines before the days of computers! however I checked the web and noted that they now have an excellent webpage with French and English details at http://www.armesdantan.com ...They have a lot of nice stuff and are in the same place in Village Suisse in Paris with their magnificent shop..

Salaams, Ibrahiim, Thank you for this hint. I am afraid though you have not been to their site for quite a few years because it has remained virtually unchanged for a very long time and their images are still very small. Best, Michael |

An Austrian musketeer's flask, ca. 1580, the body covered with thin leather, the photo showing the reverse with the belt hook.
One of the framing iron reinforcement parts can be seen sticking out loosely. The top cap is missing from the nozzle. Height 21.5 cm. m |
