Wow, are these exciting times lately for those of us that like the EARLY BP arms, or what? There’s also 2 sources for wheellocks to be announced ‘soon’, the 1st a US source making them on CNC machines (announcement this Summer) and the 2nd source from the EU, but a good year out still.
First Brixia comes out and offers a fishtailed stock matchlock ...
Then shows us their Snaphaunce with an amazing early stock ...
And then they show off what looks something like a Petronel, but they call it their Spanish butt matchlock arquebus, with period correct ‘peep’, tunnel or aperture sight ...
... and now here we have a true 16th century Landsknecht snapping matchlock arquebus! I wonder who is making them, but it is not Brixia ... as Cap'NBall announced these yesterday on his Facebook channel as the "1st batch of commercially available arms".
