Thank you so much, Maurice,
For this nice and good-quality contribution of yours!  Judging by the short, swamped and rounded muzzle section and the engraved roped frieze at the rear end of the barrel, this piece can be dated be as early as ca. 1510, so it really saw service for quite a long time. Best, Michael |

Thanks for sharing
