Hi,

as I recently found out it is prohibited to list arms from running auctions

herewith a piece from my collection.
it comes from the arms chamber of the count of Erbach (Carl Philip) . Castle Kranichstein.
a nice detail is that the barrel and lock are probably taken from the war against the Turkish ottoman in 1683 at Vienna.
the Barrel (with damask (wootz)) and the lock are both of an extremely high quality.
the side plate is Leda and the swan.
