Spanish Miquelet belt Pistol with hook

[corrado26]

batteries do wear out and may eventually be replaced with a spare one at hand, not necessarily from the smith who made the original lock.

I agree with that totally, but the thickness of this battery is 4,95mm so that a wear out would under normal circumstances be expected in a very far future

Can't you take a more acurate picture of the battery ?

[corrado26]

Ok, here are three fotos of the front of the battery. It is very difficult to take good enough fotos of this mark because its letters are very weak. So I hope that the quality is good enough.
Thanks a lot in advance

Tentatively, PE(RE) TOR(R)ENTO? (Active Ripoll 1756-1815)

[fernando]

Oh yes; i wouldn't even doubt it

Andreas and Fernado many thanks, you are really great. Now that I know who made the lock, it was easy to find this gunmaker in the Neue Stöckel.
Thanks a lot once more

You' re welcome. Here is a description, from an old Christie's auction, of another pistol with a pairing of a Torrento lock and a Carbonell barrel:

With blued iron barrel formed in two stages, polygonal and belled towards the muzzle, chiselled with bands of leaves at the muzzle and girdle, the breech section with maker's stamps of Carbonell (Neue Støckel 7217 and 7218) and inlaid with silver scrollwork, lightly engraved blued patilla lock, the outer face of the steel with maker's stamp of Pere Torrento (Neue Støckel 1105), walnut full stock inlaid with pierced engraved silver rococo plaques retained by silver nails, the pommel and fore-end bound with silver bands, belt-hook, and chiselled iron trigger-guard
