Sure it is possible that that gun was in use up to the 1470's.

Best,
Michael

You have posted several fotos from what I understand a German book.
"Handbüchse mit verriegeltem Ringhaken", "Diese Hakenbüchsen ist aus Schmiedeeisen", "Stangenbüchse mit ursprunglichem Schaft". Would be interesting to know the Title of this book or if they are several the titels.

"Handbüchse mit verriegeltem Ringhaken" and "Diese Hakenbüchsen ist aus Schmiedeeisen" are from a series of articles: P. Sixl: Entwickelung und Gebrauch der Handfeuerwaffen. In: Verein für Historische Waffenkunde (Hrsg.): Zeitschrift für historische Waffenkunde. Vol. 1, 1897 and Vol. 2, 1898.

Here is our free reconstruction of the Tabor-gonne. It has a barrel length of 410 mm a bore of 270 mm and a calibre of 18 mm. The total length with wooden stock is 192 cm. It is officially tested for shooting salute with a powder load of 20 g blackpowder by German authorities. .... And it is very loud

Our next salute is for your health, Michl!
