This surely is an original percussion lock, a Miquelete of late generation, as said in my post #7.

I have started gathering both fire and edged weapons, with an Ethno influence from this (Ethno) forum, much before the starting of the European section. When this (European) came on stage, i started turning to European stuff, having by now disposed of practicaly all Ethno pieces, both to give a more 'rational' sense to the collection and for (trying to) balance the budget spent with the newly acquired items ... which are visibly much more expensive than Ethno ... at least in the range of current examples.

Well, that's the idea. Here between us, we give the members a potion prepared by one of the best Druids .
