I purchased a differnt handgonne from this gent, and he has a serpantine harquebus for sale as well. NO LOCK. just a serpantine lever, but it's mounted on a buttstock like a 15th century style handgonne. It's one he picked-up from a reenactor, had it cleaned and inspected for safety, and has been okayed to shoot.
He's asking $300 + shipping. His email is info@ivanhenry.com
He also imports collars of bandoliers (apostles), pistols, matchlocks and blunderbusses (in brass and steel) at what looks like a good price. Not much particular cup of tea, but thought I should mention it in case anyone is interested. Note that the serpantine is a one-off. He doesn't sell serpantine harquebus's as a regular item. Though he does sell matchlocks. http://www.ivanhenry.com
He has these items and more on his website. Mainly though, I wanted to point out the serpantine.
Matchlock
Doglock
French brass blunderbuss
Collar of bandoliers (12+1)
Belt of bandoliers (6+1):
Here is a similar Southern German serpantine matchlock from the Kultur Museumzentrum Schloss Glatt. It has the same pinned bent "S" type firing mechanism, w/screw. And it aligns, like the replica, centered under the butt. As well as having a lidded fire pan. This one is dated to the 1600's. A larger picture can be seen on Wikipedia under the title "matchlock". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchlock

Bumping this, as the classifieds are moving at light speed.
I added a photo above of a similar extant matchlock in Germany.

I emailed Dana about items in stock, and he said that the Doglock blunderbuss, the French Military blunderbuss and the mini blunderbuss are in stock. But email if you want to confirm those or other items. If he doesn't have the exact item you want in stock, he says he will give a discount on pre-pays.
The brass barrel guns are very spiff. Makes me want to move to the 17th century in my collection.

Those are good looking apostles, too. And cheaper than I got mine, once you figure in the leather and cord.
