Great piece and superb provenance, Cornelis,
Thank you so much for sharing!  Does the other end of the ramrod retain an iron finial threaded for receiving a worm or a scourer? As you most probably know, the museum in Schwäbisch Gmünd, where Maucher lived and worked for a long time, preserves a fine collection of his works. Best, Michael |

Because that's very common to all ramrods with bone tips - the barrel needed cleaning out the barrel now and then, even with better quality arms. The ramrod of your puffer should be equally equipped.
The Maucher ivory carvings and guns are in the Städtisches Museum Schwäbisch Gmünd: http://www.schwaebisch-gmuend.de/60.php Please look also here: http://www.beyars.com/de_verbeinunge...n-michael.html and for the 1992 catalog of the Mauchers' works: Angelika Ehmer: Die Maucher. Eine Kunsthandwerkerfamilie des 17. Jahrhunderts aus Schwäbisch Gmünd. Hg. vom Stadtarchiv Schwäbisch Gmünd. Einhorn-Verlag Eduard Dietenberger GmbH: Schwäbisch Gmünd, 1992. 237 S. mit 255 Abb. and: http://naxos.bsz-bw.de/rekla/showData.php?meta_id=54 Best from Lower Bavaria, Michael |
