puffer ,

from what i can see i believe that’s the Trigger guard from a Huhnstock or Horneffer Jaeger rifle . of which is I believe the engraving and gilt back ground are attributed to the Stockmar family of Suhl.
the were court gun makers for the Elector of Saxony
. that’s very reminiscing of their work and yes I seem to recall one of their women folk did a engraving during a time . I believe that was about 1750
