Hello

Indeed, it is a pistol produced in Naples, in the style and decoration of Ripoll's "ball" pistols. Let us remember that at that time Spain dominated southern Italy. The fleur de lis punches and the Madrid cross and the punch with the horse are intended to imitate the Spanish punches. I do not find any relationship between the sculpted figures, only that it is more elaborate than what Spanish weapons usually have

Affectionately
