The work of the as yet unidentified stockmaker 'The Master of the Animal-Head Scroll' includes a number of weapons connected with the court of the Habsburg Emperor Ferdinand III (1637-57), of which three are believed to have belonged to the Emperor himself, and some of his stocks have locks and barrels by Vienna and Salzburg makers. He is likely to have worked in Vienna. For more information see Hans Schedelmann, 'The Master of the Animal-Head Scroll', Arms & Armour Annual, Northfield, Ill., 1973
