Gründig, Carl, Dresden bugelspanner (gunsmith to King Wilhelm I)

With thanks to Veco and John G for facilitating.

John says:

These are of a bugelspanner sold to the Hofberg Royal Palace, Dresden for the young King of Germany  and Prussia  Wilhelm I  for practice shooting. The air rifle dates to 1887 and has production nr 23. It is marked with the inscription 'Carl  Gründig Hofb. Dresden' - he was the  Palace Royal Gunsmith
