Anm.: Das vorliegende Exponat wurde nach Angaben des Einbringers 1947 bei einem Inventarverkauf von Schloss Bebenhausen erworben und stammt aus dem Besitz von Charlotte zu Schaumburg-Lippe (1864-1946). Schloss Bebenhausen, in der Nähe von Tübingen gelegen, blickt auf eine lange und faszinierende Geschichte als ehemalige königliche Residenz zurück. Friedrich I., der erste König Württembergs (reg. 1806-1816), prägte die Geschichte von Bebenhausen durch prunkvolle Hofjagden und den Ausbau der Nebengebäude des Klosters aus dem 12. Jahrhundert zu einem imposanten Jagdschloss. In der Zeit König Karls I. (reg. 1823-1891) wurden die Räumlichkeiten, die er in Bebenhausen bewohnte, modernisiert. Unter seiner Regentschaft erlebte das Schloss eine Phase der Veränderung und Anpassung an die Bedürfnisse der Zeit. Im Stil des Historismus entstand ein herausragendes Ensemble von Wohnräumen, in dem - typisch für die Zeit - viele Originalstücke sensibel mit Neuschöpfungen des 19. Jahrhunderts kombiniert wurden. Auch nach seiner Abdankung 1918 residierte der letzte württembergische König Wilhelm II. (reg. 1848-1921) hier mit seiner zweiten Gemahlin Königin Charlotte zu Schaumburg-Lippe. Sie lebte bis zu ihrem Tod in Schloss Bebenhausen. Von 1946 bis 1952 tagte hier die Landesversammlung von Württemberg-Hohenzollern, deren Aufgabe es war, zwischen 1946 und 1947 eine Verfassung für das Land Württemberg-Hohenzollern auszuarbeiten. | FEUCHT, A., Decorated box, 2nd half 19th century, signed and monogrammed "A.

Crowned, alloy monogram "CC" in the centre of the lid, symmetrically surrounded by two acanthus branches connected by a bow. On a grained ground. The square pictorial field is framed by a kind of surrounding cymation bar. Acanthus leaves decorate the four corners. The edge of the lid is emphasised by a kind of braided band.

Inside, wooden panelling with wooden partitions divided into compartments of different sizes. Remains of leather straps, possibly used to secure objects. Lock fully functional, original key present. Provenance: South German private property. Note: According to the consignor, the present exhibit was acquired at an inventory sale of Bebenhausen Palace in 1947 and comes from the estate of Charlotte zu Schaumburg-Lippe (1864-1946). Bebenhausen Palace, located near Tübingen, looks back on a long and fascinating history as a former royal residence. Frederick I, the first king of Württemberg (reigned 1806-1816), shaped the history of Bebenhausen with magnificent court hunts and the conversion of the 12th century monastery outbuildings into an imposing hunting lodge. During the reign of King Charles I (reigned 1823-1891), the rooms he occupied in Bebenhausen were modernised. During his reign, the castle underwent a phase of change and adaptation to the needs of the time. An outstanding ensemble of living rooms was created in the historicist style, in which - typical of the time - many original pieces were sensitively combined with new 19th century creations. Even after his abdication in 1918, the last King of Württemberg, Wilhelm II (reigned 1848-1921), resided here with his second wife, Queen Charlotte zu Schaumburg-Lippe. She lived in Bebenhausen Palace until her death. From 1946 to 1952, the Württemberg-Hohenzollern state assembly met here, whose task it was to draw up a constitution for the state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern between 1946 and 1947.

The .357 Magnum is a powerful and versatile revolver cartridge developed in the early 1930s by firearms designer Elmer Keith and Smith & Wesson. Here are some key features and highlights of the .357 Magnum cartridge:1. **Origin**: The .357 Magnum was developed as an improvement over the .38 Special cartridge, which was widely used by law enforcement agencies and civilians at the time. Elmer Keith and Smith & Wesson sought to create a more powerful cartridge suitable for law enforcement and self-defense purposes.2. **Ballistics**: The .357 Magnum cartridge features a rimmed, straight-walled case with a bullet diameter of .357 inches (hence the name). It typically fires a bullet weighing between 125 and 180 grains at velocities ranging from approximately 1,200 to 1,500 feet per second, depending on the specific load and barrel length.3. **Stopping Power**: The .357 Magnum cartridge is known for its excellent stopping power and terminal ballistics, making it effective for self-defense, law enforcement, and hunting small to medium-sized game. The combination of high velocity and bullet weight results in significant energy transfer and tissue damage upon impact.4. **Versatility**: One of the key advantages of the .357 Magnum cartridge is its versatility. It can be fired from revolvers chambered for .357 Magnum as well as from revolvers chambered for .38 Special, albeit with reduced performance. Additionally, many firearms manufacturers offer lever-action rifles and semi-automatic pistols chambered for .357 Magnum, further expanding its versatility.5. **Recoil**: The .357 Magnum cartridge generates significant recoil due to its high velocity and energy levels, particularly when fired from lightweight revolvers. However, this recoil can be manageable with proper technique and training, and many shooters appreciate the powerful performance of the cartridge.6. **Popularity**: The .357 Magnum remains a popular cartridge for a variety of applications, including self-defense, target shooting, hunting, and competitive shooting sports such as IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) and USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) competitions. Its effectiveness, versatility, and historical significance have ensured its enduring popularity among firearms enthusiasts.Overall, the .357 Magnum cartridge continues to be valued for its impressive performance, versatility, and reliability, making it a favored choice for shooters seeking a powerful and effective handgun cartridge.Replica.11 inches length.2.3 lbs.Non-firing.
