Tinderlocks ca. 1480-1510
As the tinderlocks are not clearly shown in the painting of the Battle near Orsza, I posted some good illustrations here:
- by Diebold Schilling, from his Berne Chronicle, 1483: not very exact, either, as the top of the serpentine holding the piece of tinder is not shown at all - by Jörg Kölderer, from his illustrated Maximilian Armories Inventories, ca. 1502-07: very exact details! For tinder- and early-15th to 16th c. matchlocks, please also see my threads http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tinder+lock http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tinder+lock http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tinder+lock http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tinder+lock http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tinder+lock http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tinder+lock http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=tinder+lock Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 5th December 2013 at 03:32 PM. |

And a detail with a piece of old tinder in the serpentine, of the oldest known complete long gun in existence, ca. 1400-10 (!!!), in my collection.
 The watercolor is dated 1411, from the famous Cod.Vind.3069 (Vienna Library). Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 5th December 2013 at 10:10 PM. |
