The barrel is marked "HANNS WINCKHLER" on either side of a brass cartouche of a rampant lion with two tails (traditional emblem of Bohemia). Another bestial mark is on the upper left at the breech. Winkler worked in Ferlach, Austria, circa 1737. The stock has some decorative panels of staghorn, incised scroll carving, and iron fittings. The trigger plate, trigger, and some other furniture appear to be from 18th century muskets. The trigger guard is shaped with finger grooves.
