Double miquelet gun
Hi rickYsti and cutlass collector Thanks for your kind comments , the Aguirre gun is a shotgun/ fowling piece , I am in the process of posting photos of the Nicholas bis Madrid lock gun with the help of fernando so I will include a full length photo of the pair together , I have collected guns in varying conditions like all collectors as funds allowed , starting in 1970 with single percussion guns / hopeless cases lovingly restored and fitted with rods made from dowel rod and topped with a cartridge case end , bought for£ 15 or £20 and paid off over a few months then hung on the wall with pride ( happy days ) , I then progressed through British military bayonets , pistols , muskets ,rifles , sporting guns , cap/ ball revolvers ,japanese swords , Zulu items , ,Spanish guns etc , I have now evolved to fewer pieces but quality and condition is most important . Best regards. Shinyblades
