The manufacture of a firearm in the 16^th century was specialized in that a barrelsmith, lockmaker, and stockmaker would combine their efforts. On this carbine, the barrelsmith's mark is illegible; the mark at breech probably the Nuremberg guild mark. The stockmaker appears to have left no marks. The lockmaker, however, has clearly made his marks. The arms of the city of Nuremberg with half eagle/chevron pattern and the maker's which is a canting device. The maker is L. Strauss (which is German for ostrich).
