Spanish Maker

[fernando]

It really takes eagle eyes to discern the contents of such damaged lettering; i confess i couldn't do it myself.The GRº for Gregorio seems consistent; the rest, i wouldn't know. It still could be the name of a Spaniard; Arcano, Marcano.
I wonder what Fernando K has to say about this mark.
A (hunting) escopeta ... Africanized ?

[Oliver Pinchot]

The owner insisted it was French, that he had bought it in France,
and that it had been there for "many generations." The inlays in the stock are bone and mother of pearl.

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?
