These include a pair of fowling-pieces and a breech-loading rifled carbine in the collections of the Princes von und zu Liechtenstein in Schloss Vaduz, the latter made for a member of the Royal House of Savoy (inv. nos. 3871, 3885, 4102). A pair of holster pistols by Paul Poser are in the former Imperial Collection in Vienna (WS.A1691), see Schedelmann 1972, pp. 226-7. Another pair, closely comparable with the present pistols, were made by Poser for Philipp, Prince von Lobkowicz, circa 1731: sold Christie`s, 9th December 1988, lot 215. Poser`s death date is recorded as 1730 in Der Neue Støckel but the pistols made for Prince Lobkowicz could not pre-date 1731. The distinguished treatment of the barrels, the locks and the mounts is possibly the work of the Franz Matzenkopf (circa 1705-1776), a celebrated chiseller of iron, silver and bronze who supplied Poser and other Prague gunmakers. Matzenkopf was producing coin dies for the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg by 1727; he left Prague to take up his appointment as coin and medal die-cutter to the Salzburg court in 1738. See Hayward 1963, pp.125-7
