I would like to share a few pictures of two simmilar but not identical Schnappschlossbuchsen dated to the late 17th century. Supposedly produced in Kurland, today the western part of Latvia. They are part of the Rustkammer in Dresden.

Those are beautiful! And in nice shape! Seems like there is no rust in the Rustkammer!
Beautiful pictures! “Schnappschlossbuchsen”… I feel bad for German dyslexics…
Here you go …
Those are very high quality pieces Mle! Thank you for the pictures.
Much better than the normal rustic models we see.
Do you have any information on them?
To be honest, I did not know that this type were ever made in such high quality. This is the first time I have seen anything up to this level of craftsmanship.
Thank you for enlarging an re-orientating the pics Dale.
