介绍（中）	骑兵（重骑兵）通常装备有一把剑和两把或更多的轮锁手枪，比如这把。大都会博物馆收藏的相关加固胸甲（编号14.25.867）旨在穿在铁甲胸甲的顶部，以使其防弹。防弹加固件相对较重——仅此胸甲就重14磅11盎司——这就是为什么它们在不使用时可以拆卸的原因深刻在胸甲镀银钢表面以及手枪枪管和锁板上的符号包括五角星、字母F和环绕一对交叉棕榈枝的冠。这些是西班牙贵族费里亚公爵唐·戈麦斯·苏亚雷斯·德·菲格罗亚·Y·科尔多瓦（1587–1634）的个人标志，费里亚公爵是国王腓力三世时期的杰出军事指挥官。可能正是在这一时期，费里亚公爵委托制作了这把手枪（一对手枪中的一把）和盔甲，现在存放在意大利都灵的皇家军械库中，这件加固胸甲最初属于该军械库。
介绍（英）	Cuirassiers (heavy cavalry) usually were armed with a sword and two or more wheellock pistols such as this one. The associated reinforcing breastplate also in the Metropolitan Museum's collection (acc. no. 14.25.867) was intended to be worn on top of the breastplate of a cuirassier armor in order to make it bulletproof. Bulletproof reinforcing pieces were relatively heavy––this breastplate alone weighs 14 pounds 11 ounces––which is why they were made to be removable when not in use. The symbols deeply engraved on the silvered steel surface of the breastplate and on the barrel and lockplate of this pistol include a pentagram, the letter F, and a coronet encircling a pair of crossed palm branches. These are the personal emblems of the Spanish nobleman Don Gómez Suárez de Figueroa Y Córdova, duke of Feria (1587–1634), a prominent military commander in the service of King Philip III. From 1618 to 1625 and again from 1631 to 1633, he held the prestigious post of governor of the duchy of Milan, then a Spanish territory. It was probably during this period that the duke of Feria commissioned this pistol (one of a pair) and the armor, now in the Royal Armory in Turin, Italy, to which this reinforcing breastplate originally belonged.
