Flintlock 4 Cylinder Revolver For Comment

Dana,

I had to edit my post regarding the pan-covers, as I saw my mistake when I looked at it again.
No sliding covers! The barrel style also says late 17th C.

I think it is earlier than you think, but that is just my opinion. :-)

Kind regards,
Richard.

Earlier would be good, but I try not to fool myself by being overly optimistic.

Caution is always a good thing Dana.

One thing I should have said, is that I have never seen one with a wooden fore-end before.
Very original!

If you don't mind me hijacking your thread Dana, i would like to post a Portuguese shoulder gun, said to be from the first half 17th. century, with a rotating cylinder system. It is part of a private collection in exhibition at the Oporto Military Museum; or it was, as the last time i have been there, i didn't see it; Museums can be mysterious some times

.
The pictures are horrible and i don't have full info about its functioning, but it appears that some of the details are ingenious.
