I Guess Fernando K translating engine has betrayed him

.
Pedrenyal is a flintlock gun (a sort of big pistol).
Serraller, like Panyetaire, is a lock smith; only that serraller is a more generic name.
If you pick one or two of those Diop guys, i may translate what the book says about them.

Augusti Deop. Master lock smith from 1700’s Ripoll. Recorded between 1720 - 1750 in the archives of Ripoll Ethnographic Museum. His mark (punzon) may be seen in the lock of flint pistol (pedrenal) nr. 25678 of the inventory of the Board of Barcelona Museums.
