Hello:
Just to make a point: chiseled work of masks in the deck (plate) and the flange (bridge) the trigger (trigger) and sun on the rake (frizeen) is mediocre if not bad. Same for the figure holding the lower jaw. The sheet of spring blades is far greater perfection. As for the link uploaded by Ibrahim is a commercial product, and assertions are interested .... Affectionately. Fernando K |

I think no one disputes it's not a masterpiece :-) Anyhow, the brass furniture is quite interesting. I read somewhere (don't remember where exactly) that the Roman lock was widely used in central Italy during the 18th century although the quality of the works was quite rough. I think it fits very well to this piece.
I found a similar pistol at Christie's (sale 6345, lot 99). Regards, Matus |

Hello:
Of course, just wanted to mention that the quality of the key (lock) does not correspond to the works of Cominazzo .... Affectionately. Fernando K |
