介绍（中）	这对手枪在18世纪欧洲的豪华枪支中占有特殊的地位，是波希米亚学派最重要的作品之一，也是布拉格枪支制造商Franz Matzenkopf精湛技艺的典范，他可能被认为是这一时期在法国以外工作的最好的钢凿工之一。马岑科普夫大约1705年出生于蒂罗尔的普鲁茨村，1721年在维也纳当学徒。1727年起，他在布拉格当了一名熟练工人，1731年成为那里的一名枪手大师。他很快成为布拉格18世纪最重要的枪支制造商之一，将波西米亚人用低浮雕装饰豪华运动枪支的各种金属元素的传统提升到了前所未有的水平，在工艺上与当时最好的法国枪支不相上下。他的非凡能力在手枪枪管和锁板的高质量凿饰中显而易见。1738年后，马岑科普夫离开布拉格，成为萨尔茨堡大主教莱波德·安东·冯·菲尔米安的模切师和奖章获得者，他似乎不再制造和装饰枪支。迄今为止，只有他在布拉格居住期间制造的其他八支枪支被确认身份。
介绍（英）	This pair of pistols occupies a special place among the luxury firearms of eighteenth-century Europe, as one of the most significant works of the Bohemian school, and as a superlative example of the virtuosity of Franz Matzenkopf, a Prague gunmaker who may be regarded one of the best steel-chisellers working outside France during the period. Born in the village of Prutz in Tirol circa 1705, and apprenticed in Vienna in 1721, Matzenkopf worked as a journeyman in Prague from 1727, and became a master gunmaker there in 1731. He quickly became one of Prague's foremost eighteenth-century gunmakers by elevating the Bohemian tradition of adorning the various metal elements of luxury sporting firearms with ornament in low relief, to an unprecedented level, equal in workmanship to the finest French firearms of the time. His exceptional abilities are readily apparent in the high quality of the chiselled ornamentation of the pistols' barrels and lockplates. Matzenkopf appears to have no longer made and embellished firearms after 1738, when he left Prague to become the die-cutter and medallist of Lepold Anton von Firmian, Prince Archbishop of Salzburg. Only eight other firearms made by him during the years he resided in Prague have been identified to date.
