Wheellock Pistol Made for Maximilian I of Bavaria (1573–1651)

Steel-chiseler Emanuel Sadeler German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 375

An all-steel stock is unusual and was probably used to give Sadeler more surface on which to display his talents. The pommel is decorated with the coat of arms of Bavaria under a ducal crown and encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Duke Maximilian I (1573–1651) became a knight of this prestigious order in 1600.
