All wheellocks in my collection has rounded screw tops.
If anyone can find a photo of an original 16th century or early 17th century wheellock with flat screw tops, you will have proven me wrong 
By doing a quick Google and Pinterest search, this little detail can be seen. |
Yes, most of the screws on the piece are round topped. Only a few of the screws are flat topped which could be replacements. I’ve included a better angle showing the round screws
