A finely etched, detached wheellock mechanism for a small arquebus, Ausgburg, Bavaria, ca. 1565-70, formerly in the author's collection; author's photographs.

This is one of the very rare instances that you can study a wheellock mechanism when completely dismantled down to all its tiniest parts, and the smallest of screws.

Best,
