Neat “Moroccan Lock” action - Snaphaunce?

[Philip Chua]

Howdy all,
This is in the Sevilla arms museum (Spain). One is a “Moroccan” lock which looks a bit like a snaphaunce? Second is a huge wall gun with a Miquelet style lock. I couldn’t get into the Arms museum in Madrid but there are other I’ll see during this trip.

WOW!! There's a whole lotta "stuff" goin on there!!

NICE! Love it!

Horizontal sear through lockplate, cock ‘stop’ external to the lockplate, round ‘knob’ projection off the pan, large frizzen with ~90-degree elbow off an arm … definite Snaphaunce.

Wonder if the cock moving forward pushes open a ‘closed’ pan cover???

I didn’t see a sliding pan cover but we were moving kinda quickly unfortunately so didn’t get a great look. However when I loo at the pic maybe the pan cover is already slid forward?

This looks like the pan cover, in the forward position

I believe you’re correct! I wish the other 2 pics of the wall rifle came through. It was a doozy!!! I think I’ll try to repost them.
