@silver760 not true, the italians had good trade relations with asians and middle easterners, they were among the first europeans to use gunpowder weapons.
Thanks, it has been translated by some Italians as a little rhyme that means simply: Brave musket, hit the chest.
I don't have it here but think it said "Valorso Scopiecto, Ferisci El Piecto"
An Italian linguist said the Italian sounded like it was tainted with Spanish. The Spanish were in charge of the Naples area, where this may have been made, in the late 15th C. Thanks for your interest.
looks like if you shoot this kind of gun,,i think it will explode..means disposable

I'm pretty sure there are older decorated firearms than that,especially in the UK.

Is it really the oldest decorated firearm in the world? I thought that title goes to the Morko handgun?

Can you exactly spell the writings?
it's weird though, letters seem like being scraped on the metal, quite a rough job compared to the rest of the weapon.
all i could translate ( until the final word, i can't just read it ) is " VALOROSO MOSCHETTO FERISCI... ".. and seems like ending with a rhyme.
sounding somewhat like "O MY BRAVE MUSKET, HARM..."
I need the final word to be spelled to understand it all.
