Thanks Super Michael.
I also have had 'attributed' this pistol to Augsburg based on similar motifs found on Augsburg made contemporary wheel lock pistols (previous threads from you).

Thanks again for your help

For information, I found the same 'A' and 'K' barrel marks on a German Puffer wheellock pistol (dated 1592) from the Trabentan Leib guard of Christian II (Puffer pistol at Bolk antiques).
