In case that bishop and cardinal Johann Philipp von Lamberg gave the order to make this gun, it must have been made between the years of 1689 and 1712. Pans with arms to the frizzen screw have still not been in use in These early years.

Do you have a idea about the monogram Corrado (or anyone else of course)?
There does not seem to be a bishop with this monogram anywhere, while it must have been an important person? |

Hello Marcus
I made for you the drawing in three different colors to state that the monogramm reads clearly JPL, nothing else. Regards corrado26 |

Marcus,
This is a beautiful sporting gun! I would very much like to see the lock internals, plus a photo of the buttplate tang and the trigger-guard, plus the sideplate opposite the lock. The shape of the lock and stocking up of this arm says Corrado has the date right...late 17th -early 18th C. Again, a fabulous gun! |
