I have contacted a Spanish specialist.
His impressions coincide a lot with those of Fernando K in that, this lock may have been made in Italy.
Even the way the mark is engraved on the plate doesn't look like a Spanish work, neither its initials sound Spanish.
Although the mechanism complex looks interesting, the finishing reminds the 'easy' way of a (Spanish) Colonial example.
Fernando K is more precise in detailing this lock system ... pass the rough translation. The system called 'a las tres modas' (three fashions) is a fusion of 'a la Romana', classic flintlock and Miquelete, as this example appears to be.
