Ein Paar Luxus-Radschlosspistolen, Meister der Tierkopfranke, Wien, um 1630/40
Achtkantige Läufe mit glatten Seelen im Kaliber 13 mm. An Mündung und Laufansätzen gravierter Blattdekor, auf den Laufoberseiten in Silber tauschierter Rankendekor (teils berieben, Fehlstellen). Schlösser mit außenliegendem Rad und fein geschnittenen Radhalterungen. Pfannen mit gefederten Schubdeckeln. Auf den Schlossplatten Reste von silbertauschiertem Rankendekor. Vollschäfte aus Nussbaumholz in erhabenem Relief geschnitztem floralen Dekor, auf der Schlossgegenseite je die Darstellung eines schreitenden Löwen und von Groteskenköpfen. Auf der Oberseite der Kolben die Nummerierung "19". Die facettierten eisernen Knaufkappen und die Abzugsbügel mit Resten von silbertauschiertem Rankendekor. Originale hölzerne Ladestöcke mit eisernen Doppern. Länge je 55,5 cm.
Der Stil der Schäfte kann fraglos dem bekannten Meister der Tierkopfranke zugewiesen werden, dessen Arbeiten zwischen 1624 und 1659 nachweisbar sind. Es wird heute vermutet, dass er am kaiserlichen Hof in Wien tätig war. Seine Arbeiten befinden sich in vielen bedeutenden internationalen Sammlungen, so z.B. in den Beständen des Metropolitan Museums in New York.

Zustand: II
A pair of Viennese deluxe wheellock pistols, Master of the Animal-head Scroll, circa 1630/40
Octagonal, smoothbore barrels in 13 mm calibre. Engraved foliage décor at the muzzle and breech-end of the barrels, decorative, silver-inlaid tendrils (abraded, with imperfections here and there) on the barrel tops. The locks with external wheel and finely chased wheel mounts. The flash pans with spring-loaded, sliding covers. Remnants of decorative, silver-inlaid tendrils on the lockplates. The full stocks made of walnut with carved floral embellishment in relief, both pistols with a depiction of a lion rampant and grotesque masks on the side opposing the lock. The number "19" stamped into the top of the buttstocks. The faceted iron pommel caps and the trigger guards with remnants of decorative, silver-inlaid tendrils. Original, iron-tipped wooden ramrods. Length of each 55.5 cm.
Without doubt, given the style of the stocks, these pistols may be attributed to the famous 'Master of the Animal-head Scroll', whose works are documented between 1624 and 1659. It is safe to assume that he worked for the imperial court of Vienna. Many of his works are featured in renowned collections and museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
