This German wheellock rifle is listed as made circa 1600, with a 54 caliber bore and a 31-inch barrel. The supplier notes that the barrel is a 19th-century replacement and that it is elaborately chiseled. The stock is finely inlaid with stag in geometric patterns. The listing is used, in very fine condition.

This rifle suits a collector of historical arms who wants an antique wheellock with a recorded collection history. The supplier states it was formerly in the Art Institute of Chicago, donated through the George Harding Collection. It is a display or study piece rather than a modern shooter, so check antique firearm rules in your state before ordering. The condition is described as very fine, and the age note is shown as circa 1600.
