A unique bronze barrel wall gun (doppelter Doppelhaken), Nuremberg, ca. 1515-20

Now here is a really important thing, the brass/"bronze" haquebut barrel cast in Nuremberg in ca. 1535 for Ulrich von Schellenberg.
The authentic 16th century term for the kind of copper alloy used was brass (German: Messing).

Contrary to what the catalog description stated, it is by no means a completely preserved "haquebut", and cannot compare to the uniqe Doppelter Doppelhaken, Nuremberg, ca. 1515-20, preserved in
The Michael Trömner Collection,
and even retaining its original ramrod.

Attachments, from top:
- haquebuts with brass barrels (Messing hagkenpuchsen) in one of the arsenals of Maximilian I, ca. 1507

- the finely preserved haquebut wall gun in the autor's collection
