Flintlock Fowler, by Johann Georg Wisthaler of Munich (active 1718-50).
This is a beautiful fullstock fowler that has all wrought iron and
engraved mounts and very fine rococo ruffle and serpent head carving. He is
identified by the Gold touchmark in the top of the breech. He is listed in
Stockel as working in Munich between 1745 and 1748. This gun is 20 bore, with
the barrel 35 3/4" long and it is 50 5/16" overall. Horn tipped
ramrod, with a long jag on the end.
Certainly a beauty.
