This is a Spanish miquelet lock from my collection. It is clearly marked Juan Gomez on the lockplate. All chisled and engraved. Does anyone have reference material on this maker?
Two other unusal things with this lock. One is that it is of very large proportions. Larger than musket size, but not really large enough for wall gun size. The other thing is the two holes drilled in the pan, which were done a long time ago. The lock is definately a forging. The frizzen face has never been struck. The lock is in perfect working order. Looks like it's never been used. Maybe the large size and holes in the pan signify that the lock was made as a design excersise? Just to show the lock makers capability? Thanks for looking. Rick. |
