Thanks for posting all of these pictures! BTW, was that combination pistol/sword attributed to being owned by Henri IV? That would be VERY interesting if it were, as it's a rather interesting variation of the flintlock, that wasn't supposed to exist yet... :cool:
Thanks for any info you might remember.
Cheers!

You are very welcome. I do not think that it was attributed to him. Otherwise I would have surely taken a picture of the text.

Gordon,
I thought the flintlock was invented sometime around 1600 but took time to replace the existing firing methods.
Manouchehr,
Thanks for the pictures the gothic suit is nice, It is so neat to see the many suits of this style how they are alike and different. Great pictures!

So far as you know that scabbard is original? How in the world was it preserved if you know? Thanks!

Randall;
There's a lot of question there as to the date of the "true" (internal vertical sear) flintlock's development/invention. The armourer's mark on a specific flintlock arquebuse atributed to one of the le Bourgeois brothers has been questioned as to it's date recently. In an earlier interperetation, the mark would suggest strongly a date of about 1607-1610. However, it may well be closer to the 1620 date that even earlier scholarship had generally given for the invention of the "true" flintlock. Since Henri IV was assassinated in 1610, it interested me as to whether or not the sword-pistol combination was attributed to his ownership. If proven to be so, it would definitely change things! :)
BTW, you are absolutely correct on it taking a while for the "true" flintlock to replace existing firing mechanisms. Neigh on to 80 years, in fact! Assuming it was invented around 1620, not 1610, that is... :D
Cheers!

Manouchehr;
I couldn't even BEGIN to do that, I'm afraid! :eek: Way to complex a study for me. I'm sure that we have students of that subject here who are far more competent at answering that question than I am. Hopefully they can speak up about it for you! Probably best on another thread, too... :)

HI Russ
I have seen a number of bronze scabbards of Luristan dirks that are preserved. Of course only the bronze sheet. Parts of fossilized wood remains as well.

Thank you GOrdon for your input. I understand. I am getting more and more interested in the study of European armor. There are a number of excellent books on the topic. I need to buy them. I also apprecaite another thread on Gothic style armor. Thanks.
