So it seems this is pretty much 99% confirmed that it is made between 1710 and 1740 by Joseph Ebert of the Ebert gunmaker family.

So the initials in the hilt?

The depiction of the two people tied to a pole and the symbol of authority with the dagger?

The dog/dragon/pointy nosed thingy with the wavy things behind it?;-)

The cross/two lines in the circle with a flaming? arrow? on trigger guard?

If A Prag is a french depiction of the word does that have any meaning to the mystery at all? I am grasping at straws here:-)
