Hello
just want to make a short introduction of myself, since I´m new on this forum.
My name is Michael, I´m 27 and from Denmark, I´m a medieval reenactor, and have been working with handgonnes and breechloading cannons (blanks only)since 2000, mostly at the Bornholm medievalcentre, but also at medieval/historical events around in Denmark.
My main interests are the pre-flintlocks, so I guess that´s where I´ll be hanging out.
I´ll be searching the forum for pictures of originals and historic sources for medieval guns, so if you know any good treads, or have something you would like to share, then pleace let me now!
At the moment I have four different handgonnes (replika/copies/reconstructions -don´t know the right word)dating from around 1350 to 1420, but a couple more is on the way.
I´m also in the proces of requireing a matchlock, and my aim is to cover the period from the first guns and up to the invention of the matchlock.
The homepage of my medievalgroup is: www.griffen.eu
but the site is still under construction.
If you want to know more, feel free to ask.
Maybe I´ll write some more another day.
