Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply and for looking after the name. Finally I just get some photos of the Item, which I like to share. The name is on the barrel, the lock little decorated but without marks. Best Dirk |

Hi Dirk,
To that flintlock shotgun by Schindler in Zella, I can assign a date of ca. 1730-40, mainly based on the shape and the (quite simple) engraving of the lock plate. The walnut stock, though, seems to be a late 18th/early 19th century working time replacement; the rear screw for the gun sling is missing from the underside of the butt stock. The overall condition of the item cannot not be exactly called fine; the engraving on the lock plate (Late Baroque scrolls) has been much overcleaned. Best, und schöne Grüße, Michael |
