Hello
Impossible to decipher something- I must say that the first thing is the name GREGORIO but from the rest I can not say anything, I think it's Italian: maybe, built in a Spanish possession, like Corcega, with imitation of the Spanish punches It catches my attention the incrustation in the butt, when in the Spanish arms it was not habitual. It is not a musquet, but a hunting weapon (shothgun) affectionately |

Thanks, I should have said escopeta rather than musket.
The mother of pearl pieces look like gambling chips. I didn't have the opportunity to study it for long as I was working. I did notice that the mounts are both silver and steel, very well inletted and engraved. There is no maker which even approximates this name in Lavin. I must say, however, that it was a pleasure to read him again. Very good piece of arms history writing. Looking again at the photo of the mark just now, it looks more like GRE. DAR GUD ANO Whether the name itself is Spanish, all of the marks, including the lion countermark, point to Spain, do they not? Last edited by Oliver Pinchot; 28th April 2019 at 06:06 PM. |
