A Neapolitan miquelet pistol

Thus, the rake flange is fixed, in addition to the rake screw, by the cylindrical piece that is inserted into the plate and is fixed by the retaining pin.

sorry for the translator

I'm trying to decipher the translation of your post, but it seems that the translation software is not quite up to handling the specialized terminology of a subject that has been out of public conscience for a couple of centuries. Could you provide images of the specific parts of the lock that you are referring to, perhaps with arrows and notes indicating precisely what you are trying to explain? Labelling the parts in Spanish would be much more useful than using the inexact Engish translations which can be quite confusing.

HELLO EVERYONE

In post number 12, a photograph of the front end of an ottoman lock has been uploaded, with its cylindrical piece that acts as a pivot for the frizzen that would go in the perforation and the perforation for the retaining pin (missing) that crosses the other perforation. However, and for further clarification, I upload another photograph of the ottoman lock, where you can see the perforations for the cylindrical piece that serves as the pivot of the frizzen and for the retaining pin.

Anyone who knows the Spanish miquelete will know that the bridle of priming pan is false and the retention method in its place, among others, is a cylindrical appendage, which enters the plate, and that in the case of the weapon raised by Pichot it has a hole for retention by means of a retaining pin

Sorry. It's not Pichot, it's Corrado
