I am afraid only God knows, Dom 'Nando.

They were in the William Goodwin Renwick and the Clay P. Beford collections; the images are from the book Decorated Firearms 1540-1840, by Wallace B. Gusler.

I learned that they were sold from the Bedford colln. in the 1990's; the asking price was over 1 million USD ...

Best,
