Hola:

Me parece que es un fusil francés, modelo l754. Los fusiles españoles nunca fueron fijados al cañón (barrel) por la "grenadiere" como en este modelo. Lástima que falta el "embouchoir" delantero. Además, el "punto" (lug) para la fijación de la bayoneta esta situado en la parte inferior del cañón, y no en la parte superior, como en los cañones españoles.

Según Ramiro Larrañaga "Sintesis histórica de la Armería Vasca" España adquirío armas francesas de Saint Etienne, especialmente para las colonias.

AHi

I think it is a French rifle, model L754. The Spanish guns were never attached to the barrel (barrel) for the "grenadiere" as in this model. Too bad it lacks the "embouchoir" forward. In addition, the "point" (lug) for fixing the bayonet is located at the bottom of the barrel, not the top, as in the Spanish guns.

According to Ramiro Larranaga "historical overview of the Armory Vasca" Spain acquired French arms of Saint Etienne, especially for the colonies.

Sincerely. Fernando K
