Spanish Maker
I saw an interesting Catalan musket which I wasn't able to photograph.
It had typically numerous marks at the breech; starting at the top:
-a cross set on an inverted V
-a fleur de lis
-a crowned maker's name inscribed:
GRE.
DAR
GAM
ANO
-a rampant lion facing left, flanked by 2 additional fleurs de lis.
All had been inlaid with gold originally, most of it was gone.
I don't have acces to my library at the moment. Can anyone identify this maker?
