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.

What an excellent pistol by BERNAT CALAFELL but, what is wrong with you Dana ? Why didn't you just keep it ?

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.

Dear Dana

In the first picture it did not look good. Sorry

No problem. I should have uploaded a closeup of the lock in the first place.

Hi Dana, what a nice pistol. That lock alone pretty much identifies Ripoll made. A very standard patilla, flat full cock and round notched half cock. IMHO that is what my envious eyes see it.

I was sure you'd absolutely love this one Miqueleter.
