Capital effort there Wolfgang. I was beginning to think he was going to be elusive. Carl/Karl Adam had to be a Büchsenmacher(master) and be accepted into the gunmaker's guild in order to peddle sporting weapons(evidently there were some exceptions like widows, heirs & assigns). But that doesn't mean he manufactured what he peddled. On his walkabout, I'm sure he passed thru Suhl and/or Z-M and it was there he developed his sourcing lines. Again, lovely find.

Kind Regards,
