Snap matchlocks ca. 1555 in the Graz armory
Hi, Richard,
Here are digital pics a friend of mine took that show details of a ca. 1555 Styrian wall gun; some of the barrels of this group are dated 1554, 1556 and 1557 respectively. I took the measuremts of one of those big pieces: overall length 215 cm, cal. 24.8 mm smoothbore, weight 26.5 kg. Some of the butt-stocks resemble that of my Straubing harquebus but there are other variations as well. Michael |
