SPANISH MIQUELET GUN NEED HELP

fernando · 6th January 2012, 02:20 PM

Muy bien Fernando K,
Gracias por su correccion

I stand corrected

.

The thing is, i didn't find BASCARAN in Lavin's work, as first suggested:

As also lso in a website dedicated to Eibar gunsmiths i found three BASCARAN, all having been in action around 1880.

I assume now that my research wasn't complete.
In this case Cerjak, you have an added value in your escopeta, with all parts being from the same period.

Thank you both, Fernando and Fernado K your answers are enlightening and appreciated
For the Trigger guard it seems to be the original one
I have a second one, bought from the same collection and I would like if possible have your expert opinion on it .
The stock is different ,on the barrel BVSTUINDI UBARA and lock GVU??S
Thank you again for your help and have a nice weekend.

Hi Cerjak,
Il faut faire la difference

Fernando K is an expert and fernando (without K) is only a small curious collector

The Bustuindi with a rampart lion is Juan Esteban, an outstanding smith, mentioned as so by Jovellanos when he visited his home in 1791 (quote Lavin).
The other two marks (UBARRA? and GVU..S) are not listed in Lavin's book, neither within my reach.
Maybe Fernando K can trace them.

Hi Fernendo,
Je vois que vous parlez le français..
I 'm wondering if those escopeta are hard to find in the collector market ,do you have any idea about their value ,I don't want to sell those guns but it is always good to know.
I'm sorry for my poor English but it is the best I can.

Hola
A pesar de las palabras de Fernando, no soy un experto. Solo soy un modesto coleccionista y un amante de la historia de las armas.
En cuanto a la marca, dice Y B A R R A. Respecto a la tercera marca, no la puedo descifrar.
Te sugiero dirigirte a Juan L. Calvó, que vive en España, y es autor de varios libros y artículos sobre el tema, y que tiene una página:

www.catalogaciondearmas.com

Desde Argentina, afectuosamente. Fernando

Hello
Despite the words of Fernando, I'm not an expert. I'm just a humble collector and a lover of the history of arms.
As for the brand, says Y B A R R A. Regarding the third mark, I can not decipher.
I suggest you go to John L. Calvo, who lives in Spain, and is the author of several books and articles on the subject, and has a page:
