A FINE PAIR OF BOHEMIAN FLINTLOCK HOLSTER PISTOLS BY LEOPOLD BECHER, CIRCA 1730 with sighted barrels lightly swamped towards the muzzles, signed on the ribs, the respective breeches decorated with opposing classical warrior busts chiselled in low relief within pounced recessed cartouches, together with maker`s stamps lined in gilt-copper in the Madrid style and set within raised shaped panels at the rear (Neue Støckel 38, together with a second unrecorded stamp, a dog), the barrel tangs engraved correspondingly with a further opposing pair of classical warrior busts, with bevelled locks chiselled in low relief, principally within a series of recessed panels, each decorated with a recumbent figure within a trophy-of-war and with a boar`s head hunting trophy at the rear, figured walnut full stocks carved in low relief over their lengths, decorated with complex interlaced scrollwork mouldings about the barrel tangs and behind the ramrod-pipes, full gilt-bronze mounts finely cast in relief, comprising spurred pommels decorated with figural trophies-of-war en suite with the locks, also involving pairs of demon masks and each with demon mask cap cast prominently in relief, solid side-plates decorated with landscape vignettes involving combatant horsemen in early 18th century dress, trigger-guards centring on cartouches filled with warrior busts, pairs of faceted ramrod-pipes, one pair carrying its original ramrod with gilt-bronze cap (the other ramrod associated), and escutcheons formed as rollwerk cartouches each filled with the figure of Diana the Huntress 52.1 cm; 20½ in (2) Leopold Becher, active circa 1725-50, ranks foremost among the Carlsbad school of makers of luxurious firearms and his works equal those of the best gunmakers in Vienna and Prague within the second quarter of the 18th century. In 1726 Becher was appointed court gunmaker to General Prince Johann Georg Christian Lobkowicz at Schloss Raudnitz (Roudnice). Firearms by Leopold Becher are today represented in the former Imperial Collection in Vienna, in the Danish Royal Collection and in the majority of the surviving princely and noble gunrooms of Central Europe. The inventory of the former Pfalz-Zweibrücken Gewehrkammer lists eleven pieces by Becher. See Hayward Vol 1 1963, pp.129-131; also see Schedelmann 1972, p. 220 for a listing of known works, colour plate XXIV.

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.

Lot 278
A RARE 80-BORE GERMAN WHEEL-LOCK SPORTING RIFLE STOCKED IN THE MANNER OF DER MEISTER DER TIERKOPFRANKE , STOCKMAKER`S INITIALS MS, SIGNED MICHAEL STADT, DATED 1649 with swamped octagonal sighted barrel with octagonal bore cut with eight very narrow grooves, signed "Michael Stadt Anno 1649", plain flat lock retained by a pair of side-nails on engraved mother-of-pearl rosette washers, fruitwood full stock struck with the stockmaker`s initials MS in a small circular stamp behind the barrel tang, with carved fluted fore-end decorated with a leafy branch in low relief within a stippled panel behind the ramrod aperture, the rear portion of the stock similarly carved with flowering scrolling tendrils and other subjects all closely characteristic of this stockmaker and all in low relief on a stippled ground within an arrangement of linear panels, including a stag leaping through monsters`head scrollwork opposite the lock, the cheek-piece decorated with scrollwork emerging from a squid-like monster and from a harpy respectively at either end, framing a raised cartouche inlaid with engraved mother-of-pearl plaques in the form of the Roman Goddess Fortuna flanked by parrots perched within scrolling horn tendrils and pellets, the underside pierced with a water-drain overlaid with a pierced mother-of-pearl plaque encircled by a radiating design of horn pellets, decorated over the right-hand side of the butt with an elongated scrollwork design issuant from a monster`s head and involving large compound leaves and flowers, the patch-box cover decorated en suite, with horn butt-plate and fore-end cap, and iron trigger-guard (three pieces of inlay, the ramrod-pipe and the ramrod all missing) 79 cm; 31 in barrel Der Meister der Tierkopfranke (The Master of the Animal-Head Scroll, or Tendril) is so-called because of his unfailing characteristic use of animals` and monsters` heads to form the terminals to his distinctive scrollwork designs; he is to date unidentified by name: see Hayward, Volume I 1965, pp.194-6. Of the recorded gun and pistol stocks attributed to this maker, the present example, hitherto unrecorded, would appear to be the only example bearing a maker`s stamp involving initials which may possibly lead to the identification of this stockmaker; the gun in the Neuen Burg in Vienna (D 104) with its stock marked HN having been subsequently discounted by Schedelmann. The initials MS are almost certainly not those of Michael Stadt, the gunmaker to whom the stock would have been supplied for setting-up. Stadt, believed to be an Innsbruck maker, was probably hofbefreit (officially favoured at the Imperial Court); a rifle made by Matthias Stadt in 1674, to whom he was certainly related, bears the arms of the Emperor Leopold I (sold Christie`s, 15 December 1982, lot 103). Hans Schedelmann had suggested that this master stockmaker was established in Vienna from circa 1620-50 on the basis of the large proportion of his stocks preserved within the former Imperial Court Gunroom (Hofgewehrkammer). Schedelmann further supposes that many of his other works now scattered worldwide were originally commissioned directly for the Court or executed for firearms destined for it. He lists fifty-one works attributed to this master stockmaker, some mounted on firearms dated within the period 1624-53; a small number of further examples have been recorded subsequently: see Schedelmann 1973 pp.180-195. A pair of wheel-lock pistols also attributed to this stockmaker were included in the first sale of arms and armour from the collection of Karsten Klingbeil, Pierre Bergé & Hermann Historica, Brussels, December 13, 2011, lot 150, sold € 26,250.
