Here's a late medieval period hand gonne, featuring a nicely machined and blued .75 smoothbore barrel from The Rifle Shoppe mounted on an antiqued tiller, total length 53 inches and a hair under 4 pounds Comes with the short ramrod, the Lyman .735 round ball mold with handles, and a big wad of traditional tow (flax fiber) for wadding and cleaning. I shot this a couple of times on the Fourth of July, and what a hoot. I hate to part with it, but circumstances demand it. Astonish your friends, make maidens weep and cause small children to wet themselves with sheer excitement. (For more on these gonnes, poke around in the pre-flintlock forum.)
$300 for everything, shipped.

I set the barrel on the tiller with the touchhole at a slight angle to keep the burning fuse/slow match out of the direct line of sight if you use the tiller-on-your-shoulder aiming position versus instinctive aiming from the hip.
 
That didn't take long. :) And I'll admit being tempted. I've regretted letting my gonne go years ago. They are fun!
