I made some telephone pictures the other day.
As I said, in the 1789 cavalry pistol model there are makings at the bottom of the barrel, hidden by the wood, and in the inner side of the lock. I checked a Spanish Army State for 1805. Most Hussar regiments were formed in 1802 and changed into cazadores in 1805, but the one referred in here (husares españoles) was formed in 1794 and it still existed in 1805. |

Here come some additional fotos of the marks at the barrel and the lock inside, the end of the narrel regimental marking and the title of Calvo's book as well as the drawing of the Husar pistol 1789. The script at the lock's inside reads TORENTO

You may also read in Calvó's website that, although this regiment was created before the others, was named the 6th Husares, for the anger of its Colonel, Marques del Palacio whom, after having his request denied for it to be named the 1st, as having been the first to be created, had the regiment's banners stamped with the words, in Greek idiom, First and Sixth, so as to be known that it was instituded as 6º but 1st. in creation. Amazing story. |
