Synopsis "Miquelet"

Miquelet is a modern collector/auctioneer convention, largely used by and for the benefit of the English speaking world, widely applied to a distinctive form of gunlock mechanism, originally as a flint-against-steel ignition form, prevalent in the Mediterranean lands in the late 16th to early 19th centuries. The origin of the term as it applies to this lock mechanism is a matter of opinion, one commonly held opinion being that the term was originated by British troops in the Peninsular War ascribing the term to the particular style of musket or fusil used by the Miquelet assigned to the Peninsular Army of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Strictly speaking, the term "miquelet" is inapplicable to any gunlock not directly associated with Catalonia. A Caution on Terminology: There is often confusion, or at least a variance of opinion, as to what constitutes a snaplock, snaphaunce, a miquelet, and a flintlock
