Very interesting photos again Michael!!
The details are wondeful.
The little gun is rather interesting too.
It sometimes takes me a while to figure things out, and this one is no exception!
It looks very well made, and so unique because of its great age. Lovely condition too.
Thanks you for showing it with its 'guts' out!
Are those little pieces of wood, that cover the trigger/scear spring?
If so, what holds them in? does the brass lock-plate partialy cover the rear one, and the mainspring hold the front one?
It is amazing that it hasn't lost any parts, over its very long life!
I Must have a bash at making such a lock!
Thank you for these pictures, they are worth a fortune!
More later, ...must go...
Richard.
