BTW, the barrel on the right looks a lot like the Grandson barrel posted by Alexender, most interestingly showing the same burst in the middle!

Actually it does not seem to be the very same piece because the left barrel loop seems to be missing.

Any comments much welcome as always,
and best as ever,

Michael, It is a brilliant finding! This is exactly the same barrel It is very important for me. 'Cause it probably belongs to Burgundian wars period.

Are you really sure, Alexender,

That this is the very same barrel you posted?

If my old eyes are not deceiving me the barrel in the Grandson museum does not seem to have the rear (left) barrel loop, as I marked with the left arrow.


Best,
Michael

It seems that this detail has disappeared because photo's quality is too bad
