Hello Matus,
I have been researching a holster pistol in my collection made by Johann Jacob Kuchenreuter.

I don't YET own a copy of
HEER DER NEUE STOCKEL and often turn to this forum for help identifying a makers mark.
When I found
Die Kriegswaffen in ihren geschichtlichen Entwickelungen (1893), it seemed like a good thing to share here at the forum.
It's amazing how much good research information is out there if you know where to look. For example here is a copy of the
Armouries of the Tower of London, Vol I & II, (1916)

I had found the Kuchenreuter website and family history, but not
Die Kuchenreuter und ihre Zunftgenossen by Dirk Götschmann. Thanks for sharing, it looks like an interesting book. Unfortunately I don't speak German.
Thanks again,
Dana
