Matchlock (deceased) Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Bavaria, Germany - the center of 15th and 16th century gunmaking Posts: 4,310	Historic illustrations from the Battle of Pavia, 1525 Note the staged barrels and the unstocked elongated muzzle sections, all corresponding closely to my harquebus. The snap tinder locks illustrated in these tapestries are of slightly obsolete type in having only a small lockplate for the serpentine and the long spring still nailed to the forestock. This kind of lock is yet found on guns up to ca. 1530. Michael Attached Images
