Default When was this printed?

Got a print from ebay. It's never been folded.... I guess it's a new print. On the bottom it says "STAEHLE & FRIEDEL, STUTTART".

Any thought on when it was this printed? A new copy? The seller guessed it was printed 30-40 years ago....

Found a frame of right size to hold this print.

Mr. Schroeder presented a similar reproduction on his C96 column on "Gun Report" back a few years ago. The size of the print that he presented was 24" x 17".

I measured this one today. The size is 21.5" x 17".

Alvin,
It is still a eye catcher in this nice frame.
Douglas.

Got the frame from a local store. I saw neighbors selling used frames dirt cheap on yard sales in the past, but going that way would take long time to find appropriate size, so I decide to buy a new frame. The frame (60% off on this Easter weekend) and front glass combined together cost me more than that print.
