Kipplauf rifle – L.Schiwy Berlin
This kipplauf — a single-shot, break-action rifle — exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Ludwig Schiwy. It combines a smoothly contoured barrel with a carefully shaped stock of selected walnut, while the action is adorned with delicate Schiwy engraving, lending the piece a quiet elegance. Functionally straightforward yet richly detailed, this rifle reflects the tradition of small-game hunting arms as both practical tools and objects of craftsmanship. For collectors and historians alike, it stands as a testament to Schiwy’s ability to unite utility with sophisticated decorative work.
