So their age is in the latest XV century

Now ... it fits within the wings of imagination to presume that the loops in both (Jim) gonnes were made for the purpose of their transformation into (hanging) clock weights....such loops may having been originaly straight rods, as for tiller guns

Unfortunately for my private purpuses they are much too young

a dating between 1375-1400 would much more suite my wishes - but that's live

I just received the calibres of the three barrels from the museum which are: 6, 5 and 3 cm. Unforutnately they only informed then in bulk without specifying for which barrels. I guess I have to visit the museum again and take the measurements by myself.
