The distinctive decoration of the wood stock, with minute inlays of stag-horn in tight spirals surrounded by pellets, is characteristic of a large number of German Puffers made for the armory of the Prince-Electors of ‘saxony in the 1570s and 1580s, many of which were sold by the Historisches Museum (now Rüstkammer) in Dresden between the world wars. This example was reputedly acquired by James M. Hodgson in a trade with the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Minich, around 1950.
