That would be understandable as the Spanish colonies in these southeast coastal regions of US had steady maritime interaction with the Caribbean and Central/South America. Few realize the dimensions involved in the diffusion of weapons in actuality or influences through these networks.

Fascinating weapon you have there, and all the better in its static dark condition......loaded with history!
