interesting revolver that one, does it actually ratchet or is it manually turned......  is it based on the German or Polish organ guns or is it a bit of an ad hoc design..? |

To really know you're gonna have to probably be able to translate French and I suspect Austrian, appearance wise it looks to be manual looking at the metal collar near the spindle with the holes that line up with each barrel. I do wonder what the alternate, secondary short barrels are for? More pics and a link to a group of 17th C Austrian reenactors: www.passionmilitaria.com/materiels-armes-tenues-f47/reconstitution-d-un-canon-multitubes-t17164.htmThere's some interesting articles on the forums, see the justaucorp repro if you like making button holes! I've got a ton of links that I'll be adding to the new site once I get a clear couple of days over the winter. |
