De nada, Fernando,
I also forgot to mention that - highly curiously - this Berne barrel actually consists of two wrought iron tubes, the thinner one placed inside of and copper soldered to an outer one about one which is centimeter thick (0.40 in.). Isn't that cute? Michael |

So cute it is.
This reminds me that my hand cannon is also made in two parts; only in such case the inner part is a thin sleeve. I will take it with me to Lisbon this weekend, to try and find out whether this was a regular procedure or, in the best probability, define its provenance by that particular detail. Fernando |

It's pity that my humble, inferior Aljubarrota barrel consists of only one single layer ...
   Sad regards from a dreary Lower Bavarian night, Miguel |
