The barrel appears to keep its maker's mark quite readable, which so often doesn't happen. Can you post a close up picture of it?

Hello Fernando. Here is some additional pics, including an additional mark on the lower part of the frizzen. Do you know what the R on the wrist inlay stands for? Ripol? Hope you can read the barrel mark? If not, I'll try to get even closer. Thanks, Rick.
