Created in Thuringia, Germany in 1604 during the 17th century, this firearm is an exquisite example of European applied arts. Crafted from a combination of steel alloy and fruitwood, this pistol exhibits exceptional artistry and design.

The coat of arms proudly displayed on this pistol belongs to Johann Georg I, Elector of Saxony. This heraldic emblem symbolizes his noble lineage and power as a ruler.
