[QUOTE=Marcus den toom]I has to be said Michl, this thread and you are amazing

Hopefully i am not too forward posting these pictures. They mainly depict the heavier guns/cannons of times long gone.

Thank you so much, Marcus,

Those sources of illustration you've found are at least as amazing as the ones I gathered together over four decades - they're just great, and so are you!
You have been doing very fine, and your're learning so fast.
It makes an old Landsknecht veteran of weaponry, like me at 61, so proud of you!

Best wishes, my friend,
Michl

Furthering on this thread of Michl, i found these ignition irons
Some of them are show redhot, either straight or with a little pick/hook at the end.

Not many would have survived or can be identified i fear.
