1666: The MONTECUCCOLI Flintlock/Matchlock System - a MYTH Verified!

Here are two photos portraying Michael (slightly overweighed by then

- before I literally halved at hospital in 2013

) proudly presenting my MONTECUCCOLI musket in November 2007.
Note the long bayonet fully folded out for attack!

Next to me stands my friend Dieter Schatzmann, who, just like me, has been a long time member of the "German Arms&Armor Society" - actually it is called Gesellschaft für historische Waffen- und Kostümkunde and was founded in 1896:

I am sorry to say that no English version of our home page seems to exist.

The following year I got invited to join the forum, and have been around quite a bit since.

Best,
Michael/Michl
