I found in my library the following foto and description, hope you like it. It is from "Wallace B. Gusler/James D. Lavin, Illustrated Firearms 1540-1870, from the collection of Clay P. Bedford, Williamsburg Foundation 1977"

Jim, thanks for your kind comments.
Corrado, Thanks for that reference, though in fact I have that book myself, but it was good to be reminded! Thuraine, either alone or with his son, made a number of firearms which survive today, many in Denmark, but what is very rare is ones made by both masters in partnership. On the pairs which I know of each master signed one of the pistols, as with the pair posted by Ibrahiim and the Hanover pair, an unusual feature.
Regards to all.
Neil
