Regarding Fernando's key to the blunderbuss, the "chocks" are located as in the classic miguelete, the one on the bottom and the one on the top, although it must act on the lower curve of the "pin".
The opposite happens in the key of the post # 2 of Corrado, that for having a plate of the "fecho de molinhas" has the wedge of half mounts in the upper part of the plate and acts in the inner curve of the pin. In turn, the bowl has a false or false flange, which does not have the key to the trabuco der Fernando. (It looks like a transformation of a key "date of molinhas".
Regarding all the keys of the Iberian Peninsula or the Mediterranean, they have been reciprocally influenced. As an example, the "mixed" key of the rifle and the Spanish military pistol, which has an appendix in the front of the foot of the cat, which acts as a pin, and which rests on the "chocks", and which is present in the key. Portuguese "pata de cabra", and in the key "in the fashion of Madrid".
