Do you have images of similar Croatian arquebuses, Alexander?
I think these barrels are Nuremberg made and the straight or crooked buttstocks were common to Central Europe 500 years ago. Attached find illustrations from the painting Die Schlacht im Walde (The Forest Battle), Nuremberg, 1502, and from the Lucerne Chronicle by Diebold Schilling, 1513, depicting the same short and either straight or crooked buttstocks on arquebuses.
