with Tarras shield and shooting rack
Weight: 165 hundredweight
Calibre: approx. 40 cm
Bullet made of stone
A screwed main rifle, the gun was originally called "Duchess" (design: Cod. 10.824, Austrian National Library Vienna) and was renamed "Weckauf" by Maximilian around 1500. The "Weckauf" played a laudable role in the conquest of the fortress of Kufstein in 1504. Probably the same "Purlepaus" (also a main piece) was cast after the siege of Kufstien in 1504. The two guns are probably not guns that Maximilian cast, but those that Siegmund had cast. The master of these screw-in pieces is unknown. The main piece "Weckauf" cast in Innsbruck in 1536 could have been made by Hans Selos, who also cast two main guns of "2 Stucken mit Riglen", i.e. screwed pieces, in 1507.
