A Miquelet Musket on a Painting by Jan Brueghel The Younger, ca. 1660
The Painting is called The Allegory of War and was sold in a German auction house in September.
Note the Spanish military musket stock and the blued iron parts of the gun. Michael |

Thank you so much for the exampling illustrations, Mike(y).
... and tanks for your view on the age attribution of my specimen. Yes, pistola #49 has a cock foot similar to mine, which is not the (more)usual straight profile. Same goes for the frizzen spring. Ah, the Brueghel painting; can you have it wrapped and sent over to my address  .Fernando |
