A RARE OVER-AND-UNDER WHEEL-LOCK PISTOL, NUREMBERG, CIRCA 1585-90 with swamped barrels, the lower octagonal, the upper formed in two stages and struck with Nuremberg mark and both the serpent mark and initials of the barrelmaker Peter Danner (Neue Støckel 4251), large lock with plain flat plate struck with Nuremberg mark and maker`s mark of Hans (2) Stopler (Neue Støckel 1056/8), carrying two mechanisms released by a single trigger, the wheel-covers en suite, fitted with sliding pan-covers each engraved with a demon mask and the dogs each engraved with two marine monsters, fruitwood full stock inlaid over its length with a series of engraved staghorn plaques in fields of ball-flower scrollwork segmented by inlaid horn lines and engraved bands, including a pair of human grotesques about the barrel tang, a bear-hunting scene over the reverse side, involving a mounted huntsman armed with a sword, the huntsman pursued in turn by a lion, inlaid ball pommel decorated with an alternating pattern of differing grotesque masks each within a rollwerk cartouche, and fitted with iron belt hook, baluster trigger and moulded iron trigger-guard (both safety-catches and one pan-cover release missing, the fore-end chipped ahead of the lock and towards the muzzles, the plaque over the ramrod channel missing, the fore-end cap, the pommel roundel , one inlaid mask and the ramrod additionally all missing) 48.9 cm; 19 ¼ in Two wheel-lock pistols each bearing the marks of Peter Danner and those of the Stopler family of Nuremberg are preserved in the Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor: for a commentary on these and for a general survey of firearms attributed to these two makers see C. Blair 1974, cat.nos. 121 and 122. Blair tentatively attributes the Stopler spur mark to Wolf Stopler, citing Johan F. Støckel; the same version of this mark is attributed in Heer`s Neue Støckel to Hans(2) Stopler. The Nuremberg city archive for 1583 records a dispute between Peter Danner and the widow of his brother Hans over their joint use of the Danner serpent mark. The Nuremberg Council ruled, subject to conditions, that she and her brother-in-law should difference the mark by adding their respective initials. The addition of the maker`s initials supposes the likelihood that their presence post-dates 1583, although this cannot be ascribed with certainty.
A RARE PAIR OF BRESCIAN FLINTLOCK HOLSTER PISTOLS BY FILIPPO AND ANTONIO MORETTI, CIRCA 1750 with swamped barrels of "Spanish" form each with gold-lined maker`s stamp of Filippo Moretti , silver "spider" fore-sights and chamfered muzzles, strongly bevelled locks cut with a raised linear design forming a series of elongated panels, signed "Filippo Moretti", lightly engraved with minutely detailed landscape vignettes including a walled city, the cocks and the steels finely chiselled and engraved, the respective cock retaining screws chiselled in the form of Roman male and female profile heads, with moulded highly figured curly walnut full stocks, full iron mounts finely chiselled in low relief, comprising spurred pommels engraved with trophies-of-arms and fitted with octagonal caps, the respective caps cut with Roman male and female busts, each enclosed by a moulded octagonal frame fitted in turn within the chiselled framework of a silhouetted city-landscape, with solid side-plates chiselled and engraved en suite with the locks, the landscapes and figural subjects differing slightly between the respective plates, trigger-guards decorated with cartouches filled with opposing and differing Roman busts and the finials pierced with scrollwork, engraved faceted baluster ramrod-pipes, the finials pierced en suite with the trigger-guards, the trigger-plates signed "Antonio Moretti", and each retaining its original iron-tipped ramrod 50.2 cm; 19¾ in (2) These pistols are hitherto unrecorded, the maker`s stamp on the barrels also. The engraved and chiselled decoration is of distinguished quality, the chiselled Roman busts and heads in particular. The present pistols compare favourably with a pair of Brescian pistols, circa 1730, with locks signed by Filippo Moretti, which are preserved in the Royal Armoury, Turin (N 65/66): see Mazzini 1982, cat. nos. 347a-b. The Moretti family of barrelmakers and lockmakers were highly regarded in their time, with working dates spanning 1645-1775, and active both in Brescia, Gardone and Pesaro. The identity and chronology of its extended members is complex, many of whom would appear to bear the same names and evidently across different familial branches. For details of the Moretti family of gunmakers as a whole, of the working lives of both Filippo and Antonio Moretti and for surveys of their respective recorded works see di Carpegna 1997, pp. 197-9 and 200-201. Di Carpegna cites eight examples of firearms signed by Antonio Moretti and twenty-two examples signed by Filippo. The familial relationship between the two is uncertain, di Carpegna records a Filippo Moretti, a lockmaker of Brescia and Gardone, active from circa 1670 to beyond 1730, and an Antonio in Brescia circa 1775.
A 31-BORE GERMAN WHEEL-LOCK SPORTING RIFLE, THE STOCK WITH MAKER`S INITIALS MS AND FINELY INLAID WITH HUNTING SUBJECTS AFTER JAN VAN DER STRAAT, CIRCA 1590-1600 with octagonal sighted barrel swamped at the muzzle, rifled with six grooves and the breech cut with the conjoined letters HB, flat lock struck with a shield-shaped mark, a pair of crossed pistols with three clusters of ball (similar to Neue Støckel 5733), and fitted with wheel-bracket pierced with a chamfered heart-shaped ring and sliding pan-cover with button release, fruitwood full stock profusely decorated over its entire length with finely engraved horn plaques, formed as a series of hunting subjects involving figures in contemporary dress, both mounted and on foot, including a continuous woodland frieze inhabited by hares, boar, deer and foxes all pursued by hounds along the length of the fore-end on both sides, the scene on the right-hand side also involving a camel and that on the left expanded opposite the lock to include a horseman killing a boar, the butt decorated over the full length of the underside with a series of pierced rollwerk plaques involving grotesque masks and dogs` heads, the pierced figures of a huntsman and of a falconer, birds-of-prey, and a vignette involving a hare and a galloping stallion, the upper surfaces of the butt decorated with the hunting friezes continued in two panels, one involving a lion and a bear, inlaid with an elaborate bear-hunting scene over the cheek-piece, a pair of gamebird plaques inlaid about the barrel tang and enclosing a smaller plaque engraved with the stockmaker`s initials "M.S", with patch-box cover veneered in horn and engraved with deer and a hare pursued by hounds (the rear plate missing), and the entire inlaid scheme arranged within horn segmental lines, fitted with iron trigger-guard, a horn plaque over the ramrod aperture, and this, together with the horn ramrod-pipe and the fore-end cap, engraved with scrollwork patterns en suite with the plaques at the rear borders (the butt-plate undecorated, probably replaced, the ramrod missing). 87 cm; 34¼ in barrel The inlaid hunting subjects are closely inspired by the engravings of the Flemish artist Jan van der Straat, called Stradanus (1523-1605): the horses, hounds and the other animals conspicuously so. While none of the inlaid scenes are taken directly from the engravings it is nonetheless clear that the stockmaker has adapted some of the original scenes and many of the individual engraved subjects to suit his purposes, the bear-hunting scene on the cheek-piece for example draws on an engraved scene involving the killing of a stag. The van der Straat engravings also notably included exotic beasts, specifically the bears, camels and lions present on this stock. After 1567 van der Straat executed his series of hunting-themed designs for tapestries intended for the Villa Poggio a Caiano of Cosimo I de`Medici, Grand duke of Tuscany; engravings of these were published circa 1574-76. Two further series of his hunting engravings (44 and 61 prints respectively) were first published in 1578, with subsequent editions widely circulated.
