was founded in the 1920’s. Schiwy was one of the most important manufacturers of sporting weapons in Germany after the First World War. Handmade hunting weapons at that time were the prerogative of a privileged group of wealthy people. Ludwig Schiwy managed to create unique works of art from sporting weapons in every tiny detail of his work. These weapons were handmade to order at the request of customers. In the late 20’s Schiwy patented several technical improvements and thanks to the high quality of his products the company became the exclusive supplier for the celebrities of the time.

A hunting weapon as a work of art
Thanks to the manual dexterity, confidence, and creativity of our visual design craftsmen, our hunting weapons are rare and elegant. We also create custom-made weapons precisely tailored to our customers’ specifications and requirements. The production process follows traditional gunsmithing methods and involves a significant amount of manual craftsmanship. The final assembly and fine-tuning of the mechanism are done exclusively by hand, drawing upon the experience of nearly a century-long tradition. Technical enhancements, such as adjustable and extendable cheekpieces on the stock or foldable hook-shaped rests on the forearm, enhance shooting comfort. Each of our products is, therefore, a unique masterpiece that provides its owner with an indescribable sense of shooting confidence. Design remains the primary driver of visual appeal even today. In Schiwy’s workshop, precision, reliability, artistic value, and high market worth are imparted to the hunting weapons. Floral and figurative compositions intricately engraved in steel are often complemented by inlays of gold and precious gemstones. Every firearm from Schiwy’s workshop becomes an artistic creation and a kind of jewel through thoughtful craftsmanship. Together with its owner, it embodies a unique elegance that reflects their personality. An exceptional brand creates exceptional products.
