Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Wheellock Mechanism Parts and Their Correct Labeling

I found this on wikipedia and posted it here before.

Let me please do so once again in a thread of its own; its worth it, I guess, especially as some members still seem to have difficulties choosing exact denominations.

The only sad thing about this is that the first image showing the outside of the lock mechanism is of course shown mirrored. I could not reverse it because of the script. Please do keep that in mind.

The lock mechanism is German, the locksmith was Georg Schneider in Nuremberg, ca. 1575-80.

Enjoy, and best,
Michael
