Hans Bauer gun maker ?
Has anybody heard of or know any information about a gunmaker reportedly a maker from Munich called Hans Bauer, not sure about dates but perhaps around late 16th century/17th century and maybe a maker of miniature wheellocks
Thanks |

I love fine antique German firearms but it's surprisingly common to find pieces made by a gun maker who's story has been lost to time.

Eugen Heer, Der Neue Stöckel Vol I lists two smiths by that name from south Germany, although recorded as working in different cities:
Hans Bauer , Nürnberg, ca 1575 Hans Bauer, Esslingen (Württemberg), military records trace him to year 1604, and other documents show him providing arms on military contract 1616-17. It doesn't rule out someone changing his locale of business in a long career, and there could be other Hans Bauers in the trade who have yet to be seen on other registers. Good luck in your research! |
