Another beautiful find, Fernando. As you well know, these were highly favored by British naval officers to 'discourage mutinies' and for boarding. The spring-loaded bayonet device and central lock design were patents of Waters and he is most affiliated with this gun's pattern.

But, you know, when you don't have a dog you hunt with a cat
