Ornamented wheel-lock musket (Munich, 17th century), (1881). 'A handsome volume bearing [the] title "The Gun and its Development", with the addition of "Notes on Shooting," by Mr. W. W. Greener, of Birmingham, gun manufacturer, has been published by Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin...We borrow from Mr. Greener's volume, for the sake of its artistic character, the Illustration of an ornamented wheel-lock musquetoon, an early work of the seventeenth century, the stock adorned with an engraved scene of a hunting party after a stag. This was made by George Dax, of Munich, and is now in the Birmingham Museum'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
