What might >>Rundl�ufe<< translate to in our English weapons vernacular?

AFAIK regular round barrels. Maybe auction listings include descriptions that are not strictly necessary.

Ah, I thumbed thru a few makers & found the following in Dresden:

Karl Gr�ndig - 1867
Hofb�chsenmacher Sr. Majest�t des K�nigs Friedrich August von Sachsen.
Dresden, Gewandhau�tra�e

Gebr�der Kupfer, B�chsenmacher
Head of Guild
Fr�herer Inhaber: Engelbert Heinze
Gegr�ndet 1867
Walter Kupfer or his brother had a satellite office in Prag

Carl Friedrich Ulbricht - circa 1845
Gustav Richard Ulbricht K�nigl. Hofb�chsenmacher
Dresden - N., Kasernenstra�e 23

Since it is only say 50 km to the CZ border and since Gebr�der Kupfer had a satellite office in Prag, I still think the possibility exists that the family of Janeck did the same but in reverse? I looked for a Dresden successor to Janeck but for now have not seen one.

Thanks for all the research folks. Yes Ellenbr I will try to get some better photos of the touchmarks and post soon.

Three more pics including the touchmarks. Neat the way they have a raised bar forward of the vents that rest on the locks. Gold front bead and rear sight, gold inlayed rings on the barrels, and gold inlaid ovals with maker's name on both locks.










I ended up shooting a whitetail with it. Had a .58 R.E.A.L. in rifled barrel and .577 roundball in the 28 bore. Too bad stock is a replacement. Would have been nice to see the ornate carving and the fancy patchbox that I know was there because of the cutout in the buttplate.

Whole lotta Dresden 1685-1879 Janecks at

Many of them related to Christian Daniel (or Daniels?)
