Spanish Pistol ID

Hi Fernando! No, I did not misunderstand Fernando K's response. I just did not respond to the belt hook. Which, now that I look at it, makes my response look awkward.

It is interesting that the belt hook maintained such a large popularity in Spain through the 1800's. Even on short carbines. You see these on so many Spanish firearms.
Thank you for the attachment!! That is most helpful. Rick.

Read my post #4.
I had the privilege to have been offered a copy signed by the author. He was a documentalist in the arms museum situated in the Barcelona Montejuic Castle, which is now dismantled ... unfortunately
