Two relatively early samples, both sold at Galerie Koller, Zurich, a few years ago.
The first ca. 1540, probably depicting Hercules and the lion; the second ca. 1555, engraved with a votive motif of a Landsknecht pledging allegiance to Christ, which we often find on breast plates of the same period.
The third ca. 1580, engraved with a female figure holding a sword.
Probably none of them was made in Nuremberg.
