Example of Eibar miq pistol
Here is one of those Eibar pistols with steel backstrap and birds head pommel, stocked à la française, on a gun made by José Aguirre, first decade 19th cent. The gun has a gold lined touchhole, a barrel forged "de (h)erraduras" (from horseshoes of Biscay iron), and a lock that operates with silky smoothness.
