hy, I live in lombardy and I'm interested in medieval gonnes and renaissance early firearms.
I'm creating a circa 1450 infantryman persona enlisted in the venetian army, i was thinking of building a gonne or an early arquebuse (I guess serpentine) for my company.
I'm working to become a bladesmith and also, possibly, a builder of early barrels, as it was done here at the times of the venetian republic.
I have still to practice forge welding though.
The best hope would be to build a replica early cannon as we have in one of our museums, but that is pretty away in time.
For the moment a little gonne could be well within my possibilities.
