Hi Cerjak

In Ramiro Larrañaga's book, "Historical synthesis of the Basque armory", page 266 is the mention:

PEREZ MUÑOZ, Simon Armero of Madrid, 1850.. Its source is Felix Alfaro Fournier, Director of the Armeria Museum in Vitoria.

That's it. Affectionately

Hi Cerjak

Now that I have paid more attention, I notice that the lock comes from a spark transformation, from a classic miquelete. On the right side, above, the hole (covered) for the rake is observed, and under the massacre of the chimney the limits of the primitive, square bowl. Without a doubt, looking inside the lock you can see the signs of the transformation. The profile of the plate is that of a classic miquelete.

Sorry for the translator. Affectionately

Miquelete lock

Hello

... and the stock is "a la madrileña" ....

Affectionately

Hello

..... and behind the rectangle that marks the limits of the primitive bread it seems to me to observe the hole (covered) that corresponded to the fixing of the bridle (false) of the rake or steel. We would have to look inside the lock to see this

Affectionately

Dear Fernando

Thank you for your comment on this Blunderbuss.
there is no doubt that this miquelet lock has been converted into percussion
There is not doubt that this moquelet look had been converted into percution.
About PEREZ MUÑOZ of Madrid, 1850 ,because of the date he could be the gunsmith who made this convertion.
Best
