A little pistol for comments
A little (pocket?) pistol with 19 cms (7 1/2") total length.
Patilha (Miquelete) lock. Barrel, part three upper faces and part 16 faces. Breech florals, side plate, trigger guard, estucheon, buttcap and grotesque face mask all in decorated silver. Caliber 15 mm. Ramrod missing. Questions: Age ... 18th century? Origin ... Portuguese, Spanish or French with a Spanish lock? Anyone care to comment? Fernando . |
