What is the right dating in your opinion?

Here is our free reconstruction of the Tabor-gonne. It has a barrel length of 410 mm a bore of 270 mm and a calibre of 18 mm. The total length with wooden stock is 192 cm. It is officially proof tested for shooting salute with a powder load of 20 g blackpowder by German authorities. Contrary to the original it has a funnel shaped muzzle. The piece is made from a modern steel on a CNC-grinding machine and secondary hand forged for the outer shape. .... And it is very, verry loud ...

Spiridonov: May I use one of your photos of the original on our hompeage?
