In the market for Spanish pistol and/or musket

[Korisios]

I am in the market so to speak for a Spanish pistol and/or musket. 1650/1750 (is that to big a timespann?)

Moost Spanish guns and pistols are Identifiable by the little ring on top of the (how do you call that in English??)

Thay don't have to be functional, rather not!! that would save me a lot of trouble with the authoroties here...

My entiere outfit would be for educational purpose the have a start from where I can explain about Colonial Guatemalan life and work back in the days.

I know to find a desent new spanish musket but i would like one a little less expencive...

So who has one on the shelf for me??

Here is a link to the only Spanish Musket I am able to get. I am a distributor for MVTCo, so ignore the price, I can do better:

The term you're looking for is Miquelet lock.

Theres a pretty nice replica one here. The mechanism works but they cant be made to fire so are legal in most countries:

I have one of the similar ones to this and they feel and look great

Aye a miquelet lock would be what you are looking for. I wanted one myself and am building it and it will be functional but I have been waiting over a year for the lock. If anyone knows a better faster source than the riffle shoppe I would be interested.
