Another example of identical configuration and bearing the same marks on both the barrel and the lock is in the von Kienbusch collection, 1963 cat.no. 637. Johann Støckel also records the lockmaker's mark on a wheel-lock gun in the Hunagrian National Museum, Budapest; the mark would seem to remain unattributed.
