Early 1800’s Spanish Form Miquelet Lock Blunderbuss Belt Pistol Marked ‘ARI MA FMR’. Sn 22284 - 22284
Miquelet lock is a modern term used by collectors and curators, largely in the English-speaking world, for a type of firing mechanism used in muskets and pistols. It is a distinctive form of snaplock, originally as a flint-against-steel ignition form, once prevalent in Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Balkans, North Africa, the Ottoman Empire and throughout Spain's colonies from the late 16th to the mid 19th Centuries. The miquelet may have come to the attention of arms makers in Istanbul & North Africa via long-established trade routes from Italian city-states through the port of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) to provinces on the Balkan Peninsula. Other avenues were probably provided by booty from corsair raids and/or from the many Ottoman-Euro conflicts of the period. This is a Miquelet lock percussion blunderbuss belt pistol in Spanish form made sometime in the early 19th Century. It is 14” overall length with an 8” 2 stage round to octagonal barrel which has tooled wedding bands at transition. Its flared muzzle diameter is approx. 1”. Its smooth bore is clean.
