Gottlieb Richbacher (1834-1910) nannte sich nach 1877 Rickenbach. War als Büchsenmacher in Basel auch für die Reparatur von Militärwaffen autorisiert, vgl. Schneider, Schweizer Waffenschmiede 1976, S.225. Die Waffennr. erlaubt den Schluss, dass die Waffe für eine kantonale Einheit z.B. Polizei bestimmt war. Sehr guter Zustand.
