the lower musket;
reg 018264 dated by jp puype 1620-1630
L: 152cm
barrel: 1155
bore: 19mm
this musket has a had a very long working life, the forestock is a replacement, on almost every pin/screw location a new piece of wood has been inserted. the other one I have to check my notes I believe it is slightly ( a few cm) shorter allover.

the musket in one post #1 is a perfect example of a Dutch musket (read a musket used in the Netherlands) it has the mark of the double A, the arsenal of admiraiteit of Amsterdam stamped in the stock.

best,
jasper
