Thanks. That makes the half-cock sear obvious.

... And the frizzen spring so hidden behind the pan base decor.

For comparison this Patilla style miquelet lock is by Armanguer, a gun-lock maker who worked in Ripoll circa 1675

In this case the half and full cock sears working in a different order position, right ?
BTW, is this one yours ?

That is right fernando. In the case of the lock by Armanguer, the half-cock sear is below the full-cock sear. For your Gomes lock it is above and doesn't engage the toe.
