Estimation
CHF 3,000 - 5,000 (€3,200 - 5,500)Sale fees
Wallbüchse Central Switzerland, circa 1500–1550. A barrel (L 141 cm) that has been straightened and superficially cleaned, caliber 24 mm, with an octagonal chamber and muzzle area. A deeply stamped circular mark above the chamber featuring two fleurs-de-lys (?), one of which has a hook. No matchlock. The charge was likely ignited directly at the pan using a matchstick. The hook is attached to the front third of the barrel; it was placed over a corresponding parapet to absorb the recoil. Simple iron mounting consisting of three iron ring bands, which secured the barrel to the stock. Rustically hewn solid stock made of oak (?) wood. On the butt, painted in red, is likely an armory serial number “44.” In dire need of restoration. L 191 cm, W approx. 40 kg.
