I think you'll find they used cannon for decades & old fashioned often sat with new. |

The main difference is that cannons got lighter, due to better material. The limber also made its debut around the 1550ies, afaik – which makes cannons more maneuverable. Still, I think most cannons used in the first half would not look totally out of place in the second, especially regarding the heavy artillery. That said, I am not aware of any artillery especially created for the late 16th century, but as this is not my main collection area this does mean nothing. I would look at TAG, eg:

Yes alas those of the wars of Italy are too old and those of the 17th century too modern … |

Here is a specialist manufacturer, Diez. I only ever found his stuff at Berliner Zinnfiguren: link They specialise on artillery, and there are a lot of pieces there that could be usefull for your timeframe. Beware that their prices are those of a specialist niche company, though, which means high to painful. |

Thank you Puster I contacted them, we'll see because for their gun models of the sixteenth century, they do not indicate the years? |

No closer specification as far as I know. I would simply look at contemporary images to see what I need and then buy what looks like it. |
