[QUOTE=fernando]Hi Michl,

Apparently the cent suisses also served in France.

Hi 'Nando,

Of course I never meant to deny that. Relying on the source I quoted, I just intended to focus on the Papal Guard.

Best,
Michl

Hola a todos

Confieso que me apresuré. Hay llaves (lock) producidas a partir de 1814 que tienen la expresión "Royale", pero la cazoleta (pan) sin guarda-fuego e inclinada. Entonces, la fecha de la llave es a lo sumo de 1814 o posterior.
En cuanto al post (tread) inicial deTerry, es un poco tramposo, porque nos ha presentado la llave sin decirnos que pertenece a un mosquete (fusil) de guardias suizos del Rey.
Los "Cent Suisses" formaban las 4 compañias, conjuntamente con los "Marchaux-des-Logis", en la "Maison du Roi"
Hi all

I confess that I hastened. There are keys (lock) produced from 1814 that have the word "Royale", but the bowl (pan) without guard-fire and inclined. So the key date is at most of 1814 or later.
As for the post (tread) initial deTerry is a bit tricky, because we have been presented without saying that the key belongs to a musket (gun) of Swiss Guards of the King.
The "Cent Suisses" were the four companies, together with "Logis des Marchaux" at the "Maison du Roi"

Surely he has an explanation for that ... right, Michael ?

hi chaps, did not wish to mislead in any way, just wanted to know what date you placed on the lock without knowing anymore about the weapon, it would of just been so easy to say well its so and so on seeing the whole musket. as you now know its a 1814 date french Charleville musket for the swiss cent guard of louis XV111. the guard was made up of 100 men armed with these very nice looking muskets each made to the highest standard of the day. On the return of napoleon the cent guard went with him. they did not reform after the 100 days. michael
