Spanish Cavalry Pistol with Patilla Style Miquelet Lock 1808-1812

Dear Dana:

Key (lock) is "at 3 fashions". Del miquelete takes more acting spring up, the "trigger" (cock) and screw scree (flint screw) with hoop, and the trigger system. Key to French takes rake flange fixed to the bowl (pan) and rake (steel) rounded and curved (but is striated as in miquelete). Key "to the Roman", takes the rake spring arrangement (mainspring above), although it is fixed as in the miquelete by ear and not by screw intern.

Affectionately. Fernando K
