I'm glad something triggered you to go on these searches, you're doing pretty darn good in finding some treasures; I've never seen these ornate French barrels before.

I am not sure I would want to fire the grenade launcher..... the stock looks painful.

great art form just lousy design for use....

The Grenade launcher looks like a mixture 16th century matchlock and 18th century British grenade launcher.

Thats a very interesting grenade launcher , never seen anyone with a wheel lock before .
most probably a Nurnberg production , approximately 1590 to 1630
the most odd is the decorations on it as there is no civil use for a grenade launcher
usually military weapons aint decorated
on the sign it says blunderbus , thats wrong

here is another beauty located in venice

french military museum should be a great place to view new unused military rifles, dropped only once.
