I found another similar example in a Czech book, but I have to make a better scan first.

@Richard - holding the pistol in hands I have no doubts it's 18th century. I can compare to other pieces in my collection.

@Michael - it's an honour to have you in my thread. Welcome back!!!

Matus

Thank you such much, Matus,

I just felt I had to go and make an input, though miquelets are not exactly my field of specification.

Thank God we now have Miqueleter caring for the suject - nomen est omen!

Best,
Michael

Michael, I am very pleased by your confidence in my "miqueletology", however, I am a late arrival on this forum as the Fernandos cover/have covered the miquelet matters in a timely and superb manner. I butt in only when I can offer something not already said or shown. Still, I am honored to be of help to anyone when the situation arises.

Hi Miqueleter,

Superbly put - I like it a lot and am sure that your authority will easily suffice to teach us here on your special subject!

Best,
Michael

Hi Miqueleter, all,

many thanks for the scan!

And here is the promised scan/photo from the Czech book "Sbirka pistoli a revolveru" (Collection of pistols and revolvers).
The author dates it to the end of 17th century, Central Italy. Total length is 37 cm.

Regards,
Matus

I recently found this Lazarino Cominazzo flintlock pistol.
The wood under the barrel is in bad shape, but overall it's a decent 17th century example I think.
"Pietro Paolo Pantigir" was probably the name of the owner.

hello

It is not common, but there are some weapons that have their barrel of a known arnero, it has been recycled and put in a stock and lock from another source. Example A barrel of a gun used in whellock spark.

This seems to me, in my humble opinion, that is the case. The name on the plate is not the keeper, but the manufacturer.

Affectionately. Fernando K

If it was the name of the manufacturer, I would have to find something in google, which I don't. That's why I thought it would be someone else instead of the manufacturer.
