Here is one of the pistols that are marked SPAIN. I didn't want to take the trigger out as I am not sure if I can get it back in.
The screws I looked up and wood screws were machine made starting in 1850.
Any help on telling if this is real or repro will be appreciated.

Interior shows what I'd expect on an antique!
Maybe someone stamped "Spain" to be in compliance for an early 20th century import to the US?

Thank you very much Scott. I am thinking it was an early 20th century import too.
Thank you

Hammer & trigger spring are one in the same. If it is broken or weak, take accurate measurements + a trace & send to DGW. They will match it.
Thank you very much blunderbuss. Perhaps I will trace the one in the working gun.
The founder of DGW, Turner Kirkland, was a relative & knew him from the mid-50's.
Very cool. You got gunpowder in your veins.
Thank you

Re: #7. Fort, if you are addressing me, my father gave me a .22 when I was 9. That would be 1959 & I had & was shooting a .58 orig. CW contract ML rifle the same yr.. Yeah, shake me & I would probably sound like a powder horn or flask. Lot of history lost when my birth certificate expires! I've known people who lived thru the War of Northern Aggression, including a slave. I've tried to record my knowledge with a site that claims they want it, but they wanted to change the facts to what is "historically accepted". When I saw their lies, I refused. Sad state of affairs, that. Bon nuit!
Mistake. 1st gun in 1955.
Um...that's not gunpowder you hear, that's what's left of your joints!
Hadn't thought of that Chris, but you're probably right. Hey! Probably coming to Etats Unis in Apr. so keep me advised to Real antique gun shows about then. Thanks .
