Hi Alexander,
This is the earliest closely datable combined wheel-lock gun and crossbow. It came, as you said, from Schloss Ambras, The Tyrol, and is preserved in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich. The measurements are: Length overall: 73 cm Length of barrel: 39.9 cm Caliber: 9.8 mm smoothbore I attach more images that I took myself. Sorry for the unusual poor quality but I took them during various visits there and was not always allowed to use flash. Moreover, they are 20 years old. Best, Michael |
