Mark on an early barrel
2 Attachment(s)
I wonder if this mark is familiar to anyone ..
It is somewhat difficult to make out but it looks to me like "IV" (or could be viewed upside down too, I suppose). The object is a dated dopplehacken of 1507. |
Ed, you are expected to show us the whole object, as required !

I was perusing the Osprey book "Medieval Handgonnes" and the author referenced a very similar barrel in Denmark.
https://samlinger.natmus.dk/thm/asset/43719 He says that there is a makers mark "I S" on the rear of the barrel. Hmmmmmm ... "IS" mine has "IV" could there be a connection??? Take a look at the rear of the barrel: Attachment 232695 The date of the barrel is 1515. See the prob? BTW, you find anything further on the barrel I bought from you? |
