That's a beautiful pistol, never seen a hammer like that either.
That’s awesome. Looks like that critter is chewing on the nipple.
I love the hammer! Is it shootable?

How cool is that. I have a real fondness for Spanish arms. Folks tend to forget our earliest history here were Spanish.

(I have no idea what they are called in English)?
I got it today too.
England around 1850.
They are much nicer and better made than today`s replicas.

You must have found the honey hole...
Bayer,
I am very impressed by the craftsmanship in the cappers. I have never seen one like these before. On the one, looking at it the cap pusher arm it appears that it can pivot and vary its radius as it follows the spiral trough. Is the bail used to wind a clock type spring? It is a very interesting designs.

IDK the translation, but here they are referred to as percussion cap dispensers or cappers.
That's just about .67 caliber... That'll get the job done with a single ball or some #4 buckshot, for sure!
