Janus Schindler of Brun is listed in "Der Neue Stockel" by Heer as active around 1780. The barrel has eight-groove rifling, a blade front sight, notch rear sight with four folding leaves, "Janus Schindler in Brun" etched among scrolls on top in the breech section, and a floral engraved breech plug. The lock has elaborate Rococo scroll patterns as does the most of the furniture. The trigger guard bow has a group of classic arms and armor. The iron ramrod ferrules have an attractive twist design. The wrist has a slot for a peep sight and a silver escutcheon inscribed with script initials (the first appears to be "G", and the second is "S"). It is equipped with adjustable double set triggers. The stock has a horn forend cap, raised scroll and floral carving, checkering on the wrist, pierced iron scroll inlay on the cheek piece and toe, and a wooden patch box with coordinating fittings. "8" is marked in the patch box compartment in pencil.
