This percussion buscheflinte is by Janeck. 28/.57. Only saw one
reference to Janeck and it was a pistol.
Were there many makers in Dresden? Any other Janeck's known?

No Hal, I haven't unearthed any additional info but then again I haven't really been looking. I have not seen a Janeck listed in Germany post the percussion period.

Thanks. Was nice to see my old post about this maker again and the old listing in Christies. Perhaps the German Gun Collector's Society might have found some other examples from that beleaguered city.

I doubt it, but they might. After the Brits put a torch to it, I just don't know if much ancient info was preserved. You might have someone thumb thru a copy of Heer Der Neue Stöckel?

But again, I have not seen an Janeck gunmakers in Germany during the Golden Age of Gunmaking. Perhaps they migrated to Bohemia?

On an off chance, I would check w/ Mr. Larry Schuknecht thru Dietrich Apel's old email address:

info@germanhuntingguns.com

He, if anyone, would have a lead.

Raimey, Hal,
Took a quick peak thru Stockel without seeing any info on Janeck. I also took a look in vol 3 under the city of Dresden. Pg 1851 lists approx 150 names but does not include Janeck. Also took a look at DGJ index & reader without mention on Janeck.

During the 1844...46 period gunmaker Christian Daniel Janeck made a claim against a court opera singer for the sum of 50 thaler and an English cylinder clock worth of 30 thaler unpaid towards a double rifle: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/CYP2BNUFUU5YT222SJNELAEGRYLM22BR

In 1831 gunmaker Christian Daniel Janeck listed as residing at Reitbahngasse (Seevst.) 451 and in 1868 at Feldgasse 10; Both in Dresden: adressbuecher.genealogy.net/addressbooks/place/DREDENJO61UB?offset=175&start=J&max=25

Many thanks Hart & Markus. Interesting that there was a Büchsenmacher named Janeck from the 1830s till say 1870 and that he really doesn't make any major lists? It may be that the Janeck outlet in Dresden was a satellite of one in the Austro-Hungarian Empire / Bohemia?

I was thinking of František Karel Janecek(probably father & sohn) of Prague - Nusle, Czechoslovakia who holds U.S. of A. Patent US2315207A.

. Büchsenmacher. Janeck, Dippoldiswaldaerg.....

I wonder who this cat was?

>>Its so nice and light weight and very well made that I must try it. Its by a maker in Dresden named Janeck. I don't want to pound it hard, so will "proof" the rifle barrel with about 80 gr ffG and a 420 gr Minie and then find a load with less powder and hopefully good enough accuracy at 50m to bag a deer. I will try and find Minies of different weights to try. The rifle barrel has "Pr" or "Pv" over "47" and I wonder if that dates the barrel? Likely not, as I read that vented nipples, that this gun has, were obsolete by 1830.<<
