Blunderbuss for coments
Have a look to this lock, Gentlemen.
This is surely a patilha (Miquelet) lock in its excelence; sturdy as hell.
I would say this gun is Spanish, despite having been acquired in Portugal, where these locks were also produced.
Still this is an atypical (to me) variation, with that round frizzen spring.
To my limited knowledge this blunderbuss has all characteristics of a military specimen.
The ramrod seems to be the original one, with that tip made of what i think to be bone.
Does anyone care for some coments?
