Hi Fernando.
What a neat Portuguese fowler. Congratulations. Portuguese (vs Spanish) guns seem to be a rarity in North America. You just never see one. Even at the Baltimore Show. And the distinctive locks with a miquelet style sear mechanism, but the mainspring mounted on the inside of the lockplate. Yes, I see the outside mounted pin for the mainspring. The reverse of the Spanish lock. And the interesting engraving around the vent hole, not often seen.
What a great gun to add to a collection. Nice photos too.
