Hola a todos.

En cuanto a la llave doble, de chispa y de rueda, el General Gaibi, director del museo de Artillería de Turin, la clasifica como italiana, y arcaica. El especialista italiano Marco Morín, la califica como de la península ibérica, de la primera mitad del siglo XVII. La compara con una pistola que pertenció a Don Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza, muerto en 1580, y que tiene la fecha grabada, de la cual solo se pueden leer las tres primeras cifras: 157...... (ver artículo en Diana Armi, número 2 de 1976)

Hello everyone.

As for the double wheel flint lock, General Gaibi, director of the Artillery Museum in Turin, classifies it as Italian, and archaic. The Italian specialist Marco Morin, qualifies it as from the Iberian peninsula, from the first half of the 17th. century. He compares it with a pistol that belonged to Don Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza, died in 1580, which has the date engraved, being only possible to read the first three digits: 157 ...... (see article in Diana Armi, number 2 from 1976)
