Very nice! Is that a belt clip on the side?

Yes Victrix, that is a belt clip.

"Belt pistols have a large hook attached to their side or screw plate. They could be easily hung from a belt, saddle or sash. One contemporary illustration shows several belt pistols being carried at once on a type of shoulder belt called a baldric (Spanish: Xarpa)"

Please, you could upload a photograph of the cock in half-cock and full-cock. Thank you

I've passed this gun on to its new owner Fernando. It wasn't mine so I never cocked it, but i could see both the full and half cock sears.

dear Dana

Only for a concern. I seem to have seen in the lock's photograph, only the half-cock sear, located very high on the plate, when the full-cock sear is flat, and what I see is round ...

Affectionately

This closeup of the image above makes it easier to see both the full and half cock sears.

I appreciate people intrusting me with their precious antiques but sometimes it is tempting to keep them.
