It might also be Austrian as I found out that 'folded' iron straps also occur on haquebuts in Austrian and Swiss collections; as the barrels all have Nuremberg workshop marks it cannot be exluded that they were stocked in Nuremberg and delivered as complete guns.

They indeed are, 'Nando,
And what's more, they are well documented in early-16th c. period artwork; from top: - painting Die Schlacht im Walde, Nuremberg, which took place on June 19, 1502; dated 1502, Germanisches Nationalmuseum; author's photos - Diebold Schilling, Luzerner Chronik, 1513 (image at bottom) Best, Michl |
