Hello again,

I just realised - after find the crossbows mentioned elsewhere - that the intire collection of Tøjhusmuseets 1.725 handguns is now on-line! Text is only in danish but here is a good starting point http://test.www.thm-online.dk/tidsperioder/. All the notes that the museum has on guns is also available on-line.

I'm not really into guns - but thought someone else might find it interesting :-)

P.S. If you start looking at all the beautiful guns please note that "Billede i høj opløsning" means "high resolution picture" :-)

Thanks for the link. I'm not really into firearms either but some of those early pieces are just fabulous.

Check out this one below. At first I thought it was photographed on a mirror. A "case" of pistols right in one hand. Fascinating :!:

Søren;

Wow! How cool! Thanks for posting that link. I suspect I'll be pouring over that site for some time now!

Allons!

Thanks! Immensely cool. ;)

One question:
Do these have a name? I know they are anti-armour high velocity pistols, but is there a spesific word for them?
