Not on view

This sheet and two others in the collection (acc. nos. 2015.100 and 2015.101) are rare examples of finished design drawings for the decoration of firearms and edged weapons created in the workshop of Eusebio Zuloaga, gunmaker to the Spanish monarchs, keeper of the Royal Armory in Madrid, and the most famous Spanish metalworker of the mid-nineteenth century. This sheet shows a ladle, screwdriver, and the handle of another implement, which would have been part of the cleaning and loading accessories supplied with an elaborate cased set of pistols made in the Zuloaga workshops in Madrid or Eibar.
