interesting site

[tom in nc]

I found an interesting page at www.oocities.org/yosemite/campground/8551/firearms.html
It shows the common. and not so common I suppose, matchlock firearms thru history. Including breech loading mtchlock, revolving matchlock, and combination matchlock and wheellock guns.

That page is a pretty good summary for many of the basic types we see being discussed and collected.by our fellow forum members. Has a short paragraph discussing details for each type of match burner or wheelie. In addition to the European types, it touches on the Tanegashima, Jezail, and Bandukh Torador.
