More views of that piece of ordnance dated 1619.
Enjoy the high-quality images. The dovetailed backsight had the size of a pack of cigarettes! m Last edited by Matchlock; 13th June 2014 at 03:56 PM. |

Beautiful machine, Michl
 The balls in the illustration are all solid. Do you have pictures of such small ammo (30 m/m) hollowed for grenade purposes ? |

Hi Nando,
As I posted, I faced a severe computer crash and consequently can only access parts of my 2.7 TB data at the moment.  You certainly noticed that I reserved two more follower threads but was not able to edit them in time, filling them with the material reserved for that purpose. So please have patience on the humble self which is me; I will be right back on line providing you with the images I intended to present! I promise!  Btw, my self-acclaimed computer expert is driving me sort of out my mind ... Best as ever, Michl |

Good morning, Nando,
It's 3 a.m. over here in Bavaria; still I have not succeeded in finding any sleep since the day before yesterday, which is some 40+ hours. Things just seem to be working out at least as hard as quickly over here - and sadly against me. At least that's the way it seems to be for the time being ... My email program still seems to be maintaining a rhythm of mulishness of its own which an elderly and physically disabled mercenary like me just cannot grasp ...   So anybody trying to mail me: please have mercy on me for I am totally innocent of what is going on over here at the moment. I promise you though: Michael/Michl WILL BE BACK AGAIN - or vanish ... I'm gonna do MY VERY BEST as ever. Whatsoever: please be assured of the fact that my heartfelt thanks are going out to you all. Best as ever, Michl |
