You just got to know myself, my flat and collection at least as well as you do - and you sure earned it, my brilliant congenial rascal friend! Again: let's meet as soon as possible in my humble Zeughaus. Then two of us together could drive just another two hours to Northern Bavaria, kick that lousy friend of mine's ass together and save your fuse - now wouldn't that be just sorta like Don Quijote and Sancho Pansa fighting some stubborn North Bavarian wind mill?! Best wishes go out to a warm and comfortable Portuguese night, and my dreams will be full of your overwhelmingly and charmingly softly purring cats!!!

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) Fernando K 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 ......

Hi Fernando K,
Thank you so much for your input!  Even the opinions of great arrms historians seem to differ on that issue: Iberian peninsula or Italy? Best, Michael |
