Here is what the pan and cover would have looked like originally. This fine piece, Nuremerg, ca. 1530, also retains its original stock.

The tinder snaplock is missing but looked very much like the attached
mechanism.

Also enclosed please see the (more elaborated) sea monster shaped muzzle section of a short arquebus barrel, Northern Italy and about contemporary with our barrel in discussion.

Best,
Michael
