Hola, gbxfb y fernando:

Ahora recuerdo que el número 21 también está punzonado en el martillo. El cañón está rayado (rifled) y presenta en la boca 4 muescas, para introducir una herramienta, normalmente en el molde de balas (turqueza, en castellano). No hay lugar para la carga de pólvora en el cuerpo, de modo que deduzco que el cañón (barrel) solo se desenroscaba para limpieza y la pistola seguía siendo de avancarga.

gbxfb:
¿Que se entiende por "imperial bore size?, ¿se refiere a número de balas por kilogramo?

Próximamente subiré las fotografías.

Afectuosamente. Fernando

Hello, gbxfb and fernando:

Now i remember that the number 21 is also stamped on the hammer. The barrel is rifled and has 4 notches in its mouth, to introduce a tool, normally included in the bullet mould (turquoise in Castilian). No room for the powder charge in the body, so I gather that the barrel will only be unscrewed for cleaning, remainig a muzzleloading gun.

gbxfb:
What do you mean by "imperial bore size?, Are you referring to the number of rounds per kilogram?

I will upload pictures soon.

Affectionately. Fernando
