Steinbüchsen NOT yet equipped with a hook, from 15th c. illuminated manuscripts.
From top: - Cod. 3069, dat. 1411; Österreichische Nationalbibliothek Wien, fol. 10r - dito, fol. 40r and some surviving samples from the museums in Paris, Weißenburg/Bavaria, Hohensalzburg, Nuremberg and Passau, plus two specimens sold at auction withe Hermann Historica, Munich, and Sotheby's N.Y. Apart from a few huge pieces of artillery, all existing Steinbüchsen are of wrought iron.
