Hullo Fernando. Interesting . Does the release sear work directly on the cock or on the tumbler ? Does it move horizontally or vertically and is their a second locking prop ?

Hello, Raf:

The sear (sear) acts on walnut (tumbler) horizontally with two sureties, primary and secondary.

There is also an evolution, which is named key (cock) half "of molinhas fecho" half and key (lock) means "French", with walnut (tumbler) and sear (sear) vertical, and the key to the French spark.

Continuing the theme of early snap locks with combined steel and pan cover. This Spanish combination weapon has slideing steels and pancover. Royal Armoury, Madrid, C 1580. Any comments ?

Dear Raf:

Yes, of course. This is the key (lock) described by LAVIN, on page 157 of his work. This is a spear with two pistols, listed as I.20 in the Royal Armoury, Madrid. For the description I refer to LAVIN. I think it's one of the first copies to "pin", which is also found in some coils on the keys (lock) wick (matchlock).

An additional fact: I went to the Director of the Royal Armouries, to ask alfuna photography, but I replied that the two keys (lock), had been stolen, and the theft was discovered in 1950, when the last inventory uMake

Affectionately. Fernando
