Try checking on Spanish Navy pistol circa 1780. French style conventional lock, 15 caliber (19 m/m). Barrel length 21,1 cms. The initial A stands for Armada (same as Marina = Navy).

Hi Kahnjar. Thanks for checking. Rick.

Hi Fernando! Thanks for the info. With the anchor under a crown, and the letter A meaning Armada, it appears the pistols were made for Navel use.
The pistols do look Spanish military. Thanks again. Rick.

Wow! Very nice and green with envy! Love the naval stuff. The naval types typically have the belt loop/hook, as these do.

Hello:

Only for appreciation: the belt hook was a Spanish arms custom, both civilian and military. For example, numerous copies of Ripoll.

Affectionately. Fernando K

I guess you misunderstood Fernando K, Rick.
He meant to say that belthooks were common in both Spanish civilian and military pistols and not that the pistols you posted were not military.
Attached are pictures of the ID i provided. I realize there are no doubts when you compare both image and data.
