A Dutch model with ivory grip, 2nd half 17th c., a mid-18th c. specimen and two of late 18th c. date, the second employing a Spanish miquelet lock mechanism.

Very strange but dated example
I remembered this powder tester from an auction (probus auction 21). It is dated 1701 and "Richter Koln". I hope i don't have to censor the sexual content, since the overall picture does show a good portret of that periods style.
The auction labeled it as barock, but i would also say some renaissance content ? It is 23 cm long.

Great find, Marcus,
 The Baroque style evolved straight out of the Renaissance, retaining many aspects of the former époque. m |

Michl also showed us one with the same attitude in his post #13. Certainly a fashion ... maybe with a meaning  .Oh, only now i notice that Marcus's example is more (humanly) complete than that one posted by Michl
