Some extremely vintage rifles:
Top to bottom:
• Barrel from a wall gun that was used by Alessandro Farnese's (Pope Paul III) castle guards and has Farnese family crest stamped on it. The Farnese family crest markings have the crossed keys of St. Peter and a papal hat. These papal symbols were added to the Farnese family crest after Alessandro became Pope Paul III in 1534. The primitive peep sights also help date the barrel, these type of sights were used in the early 1500's. The rear sight also has a slot in it for changing the aperture size!
• Military matchlock musket made by Peter Peck. Too much info to type, read this thread if you're interested, this is my rifle -

• Left to right: 2 large handgonne barrels from the mid 1400's and 2 small handgonne barrels from the 1360/70's. The 2 small handgonne barrels were used in the Battle of Aljubarrota on August 14, 1385. More information on these 4 barrels can be found in these threads (my barrels are from this gentleman's collection):

• A small handgonne barrel from about 1400 in tiller (early wood stock). The barrel is original and is over 600 years old, the tiller is a modern reproduction to make a complete handgonne. These handgonnes had a max effective range of about 25 yards, were quick to reload. Just dump primitive gunpowder in the barrel until it's about 3/4 full and then drop a marble ball in there. Coincidentally, quite a few of these early handgonnes also ended up becoming early hand grenades!
Here's the handgonne from 1400 with some modern upgrayedds, lol:
