The lock mechanism is recognizable by its robust external mainspring that acts on the heel of the cock.  The Miquelet Lock, A precursor to the French flintlock, this design combined the frizzen and pan cover into a single L-shaped piece, offering greater reliability and ease of maintenance in the field.  It features the signature \"ring-screw\" on the cock jaws, allowing for tool-free flint replacement, and horizontal sears that penetrate the lock plate.  The walnut stock is heavily carved with floral motifs, and the brass-reinforced butt is designed to be used as a blunt impact weapon after the single shot was fired.   While Juan de Prat (or Joan Prat) is documented as a master gunmaker and silversmith in the Barcelona region during this era, his work is particularly associated with high-quality firearms that balanced functional durability with the ornate Baroque aesthetic seen here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAIIAQgLEAA\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: Barrel Lgth:   5.1\/2\" \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e         Overall Lgth  10\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003ePlease contact us, shown below, for more information.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eFREE SHIPPING IN THE CONTINUOUS UNITED STATES AND CANADA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003eCustomers not located in the U.S. or Canada please contact us for shipping information.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent Antique Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47228927410347,"sku":"ckw1408","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/6268\/9195\/files\/20260611_102037.jpg?v=1781386449","url":"https:\/\/kentantiquegallery.com\/products\/spanish-colonial-miquelet-pistol-flintlock","provider":"Kent Antique Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
