Have you dismantled it?


I got recently a 1789 pistol for the Regimiento de Caballeria de Santiago. Also the "short" model like yours.
My furniture, lock excepted is brass.

In the gilded shield at the top of the barrel I have JPP RUIZ, still unidentified.

On the bottom of the barrel, I found the year of making (1788 for me)
and the inspector mark (G for me).

On the inside of the battery there was the maker (Gabiola for me).


The Spanish Hussars were stablished, IIRC, in 1802 and they were short lived, being absorbed into the Cazadores by 1804. But do not take my word here. I can check later at home.

BTW. I found that Edwardian silver plate (nickel) spoons make fine tools for disassembling the screws.
