Johann Friedrich Schmidt Hofbüchsenmacher in Schwerin. There were several Schmidt mechanics piled up in Zella - Mehlis. I will have to mine a bit on this one. He looks to have been an authority on percussion arms and maybe an author; maybe vice versa? He was active as early as the 1870s; maybe even earlier.

I really like the stalking safeties on that Gal....
