This is about a very interesting arquebus barrel from the battlefield of Mohács 1526 that has been in the possession of the Hungarian National Museum since 1887. This was held in a permanent exhibition but now Capandball had a chance to start its detailed examination to properly identify and date it. The barrel is very-very interesting as it guides us to the time of transition from handgonne to arquebus, that we usually simplify stating that after the handgonne immediately came the matchlock muskets. Let's fine tune this now.
