Hi Alexander, Thank you for adding these valuable images. You are absolutely correct with your dating of this barrel, it is just like mine of the 1500s.
Do you have the measurements of the bore diameter?

It seems this barrel used to have a hook. You do not see it often that they brake of.

Also the provenance of the Quitzow familie can not be true, there house died off in the early 1400s. There does not seem to have been any big conflict around the 1500s but only during the thirty years war.
