Punzón de arcabucero

Baeza y Bis, Francisco
1732-1765

Este punzón con la marca de Francisco Baeza y Bis es un buen ejemplo de cómo se planteaban estos objetos. Los vástagos podían ser cuadrados u ochavados y las firmas suelen distribuirse en tres líneas, en este caso: «*co* / FRA / BIS». La huella de uso de este punzón se evidencia en su cabeza, muy deformada por el por haber sido martilleado en diferentes ocasiones.

Francisco Baeza y Bis está documentado entre 1732 y 1765. El 7 de mayo de 1735 fue nombrado arcabucero honorario de Felipe V y, el 1 de mayo de 1739, de número. Murió el 8 de mayo de 1765. Hijo y discípulo de Matías Baeza, fue nieto de Nicolás Bis.
