Spanish Husar Pistol 1789
Just to show you a new addition to my collection and to ask your comments. It is as I know a miquelet pistol for the Spanish light cavalry or husars M 1789. A letter "C" at the lockplate says that it was supposedly made in Catalonia, probably at Ripoll. On its barrel besides a regimental signature there is a crowned mark with the letters "BAR/MAS" that I cannot identify - perhaps Bartolomeo Mas?. May be that somebody is able to help.
