Default A wheel ... lock for comments

According to some specialist, this is an example made in Braunschweig, around 1570-1590.
Similar to those from Nuremberg and Dresden, however with details, or lack of them, that make it be correctly identified.
(If any of you guys is interested, i can transcribe/translate all those differentiation details).
Residual traces of gold may be discerned in the engraving.
Such a pity that it came without the safety catch spring, which took me quite a while to look for a local arrangement.
