I tried to find the gunsmith in my Der neue Stockel books, but he doesn't show up anywhere. The explaination by Fernando seems quite good. The only thing i am curious about is the crown above this "name". As far as i know only gunsmiths with royal "connections" where allowed tu use such marks?
If this is true you would wonder if he didn't have a mentionable name?

The neue stockel only mentions 2 names in Cadiz (3e volume page 1815).
-Juan Cano
-Fransico Lopez

No other information about Cadiz.
