Unique and of world-class quality.

Genuine — no purchase permit required.

Muzzle-loading quality firearm, c. 1740–1770.

STUNNING DAMASCUS BARREL — BEAUTIFUL PATTERN.

Germany/Austria/Bavaria.

Magnificent engravings and fine lock.

This piece is so impressive and beautiful I need say no more — the photos tell the story; remember to view before bidding.

This is not a replica despite its excellent condition; if in doubt, bring your expert.

For the collector who wants a rare, unique, beautiful firearm and even to shoot it.

In the 18th century only the very wealthy — barons, counts or royalty — could afford such a bespoke weapon.

These are offered for sale very rarely and never in Finland.

Revolvers, pistols, shotguns and swords — something for every budget.
