Hi Marcus,
Here is a postscript to my comment on that haquebut barrel: I just noticed that a former fire shield is most probably missing from the pan as well. The left hole must have been meant for it, and it must have been riveted where I marked the spot in red. The hole to the right of the pan trough was for the riveted pivot of the missing, formerly swiveling pan cover. Best, Michael |

A good observation Michael
 Would this barrel been fastened by iron bands? I can not find the loops onder the barrel you otherwise would see, but the pictures are not that revealing either  I found this at Bonhams, they say it is around 1500 but there is no real hook, more a rectangular "hook". So earlier? (bonhams 30nov 2011) http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19002/lot/244/ |
