WISTHALER IN MINCHEN, CIRCA 1750-60 with octagonal swamped sighted barrel rifled with seven grooves, decorated with silver scrolls, signed in silver and stamped with a silver-lined maker's mark (in a rondel a stag on a mound, similar to Neue Støckel 1164, rubbed), the right of the breech with seven vents, signed bevelled lock sliding on a wooden body on iron runners beneath the breech released by a screw beneath (side nails missing, the release button probably replaced), fitted with a pierced bridle over the steel spring, the pans formed of a long slender plate corresponding with seven vents and screwed into the barrel, double set trigger, figured walnut full stock moulded over the foliage and incised with scrolls (small chips), carved with sprays of foliage and scrollwork over the butt, with raised cheek-piece on the left and patchbox with sliding cover on the right, each applied with brass plaques, brass mounts of shaped outline, comprising side-plate, trigger-guard, butt-plate, three ramrod-pipes and horn fore-end cap (fore-end cracked, fore-end cap chipped, ramrod and forward sling swivel missing) 84.5 cm; 33 ¼ in barrel Literature Auguste Demmin, An Illustrated History of Arms and Armour from the earliest period to the present time, London and New York 1894, pp. 524-5, illustrated. David R. Baxter, Superimposed Load Firearms 1360-1860, Hong Kong 1966, pp. 195-6, described as six-shot. This gun is strikingly similar to the American made Jennings principle rifles that were manufactured during the early 19th century. As Baxter observes it is likely that the sliding lock was introduced to America by an emigrant German gunmaker circa 1770-1800. The maker of the present gun is perhaps the father of another gunsmith of this name recorded in Munich circa 1800-45 as gunmaker to the King's Grenadier Regiment. Both maker's use a mark involving a stag standing on a mound, though they face opposite directions.
