Thanks for the helpful advice Manuel.

The lower Spanish piece has a broken or siezed mechanism from what I can gather. The hammer is stuck in the fully cocked position and the trigger loose.

I`ll be working on the larger pieces today and hopefully they should still be moveable.

And thanks for the advice regarding checking to see if they`re live first!

Wouldn`t want to find out the hard way

Anyone else for ethnographic details?
