The top attachments show the weapon in the Met, the etching on the calendar blade by Ambrosius Gemlich of Munich, dated 1546.

Please note the similarities of the rear section of the barrel and the lock mechanism, especially the figured sickle-shaped dog spring, between the item in discussion and the Met piece.

The lock, in all probability, was also made in Munich, possibly by Peter Peck.
