Two Very Fine Austrian 'Maximilian' Haquebut Barrels, ca. 1500

Good evening Michael,

I like these barrels. They are refreshing, as they both show the hand of the maker, and still show How they were made.
Very surprizing to see them in such 'new' condition, with little corrosion.
The blacksmith knew what he was about, and neither needed draw-filing to make them presentable.
both are a joy to look at.

Thank you for posting the photos!!

Your mainly absent friend,
Richard.
