The House of 1593
A Caliver
Sulgrave Manor (2001)
A Caliver is a light-weight firearm, typically used as a skirmishing weapon at short range.
This particularly one is a matchlock (as seen by the matchcord; or rope held in the left hand) and the serpent on the lockplate that holds it.
The Group own a number of firearms and members have the correct license to carry the weapons and ammunition and fire them in displays.Photographer: Mark Goodman
