The research which have been carried out are presented along with the discussion of their characteristics and the results obtained. The scope of research was very wide and concerned the technological structures of wooden and metal elements and the state of their preservation. Despite the very wide scope of issues discussed, the suggested methods of research is not exhaustive. Continuation of research work is envisaged. However, the results obtained can be successfully applied not only to black-powder weapon, but also to metal artistic craftwork in general.

Conservation and restoration of the historical firearms are characterized by individual and comprehensive approach to the historical substance. This is due to the specific design of weapons, the technical complexity of the construction of mechanisms, production technology and the multitude of used materials. As a part of conservation work there was made an attempt to develop a preliminary research methodology of historical black powder guns. The issue was discussed on the example of historic preservation process of: Arquebus with wheellock from the collection of National Museum in Cracow done within the diploma thesis on Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. The study included: documentary images in visible light, infrared light and UV luminescence, microscope examinations. Another study focused on the analysis of the metal elements. There were made attempts to determine the quantitative and qualitative carbon content. The metal element were also examined using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. There was also conducted hardness tests, endoscope observation, X-rays photography and computed tomography scan. It was necessary also to perform microbiological tests of wood. Performed conservation and restoration procedures have restored weapons aesthetic and historic value.

The main purpose of this work was to recognize the technological construction of individual elements of hand-held firearms. The analysis of literature sources and conducted material science researches allowed us to broaden our knowledge of the processes of their production in specific chronological sections.

Das Hauptziel dieser Monographie besteht darin, einen Einblick in die vorhandenen Möglichkeiten der Untersuchung der technologischen Beschaffenheit der einzelnen Bestandteile der alten Handfeuerwaffen zu geben. Die durchgeführten Quellenanalysen und Materialuntersuchungen lassen vermuten, unser Wissen über Herstellungstechnologie in bestimmten Zeitperioden vertiefen zu können.
