The inscription says;
"Very rare snaphaunce 1588"

It was written with a felt tipped pen when it was offered for sale.

According to the seller it was found in a French chateau during WW2 and brought home by a GI.

I am replacing the missing and incorrect screws following Matchlock's excellent
pictures as a guide. With a new axle and chain it should be good for another 400 years.

Best Regards, Johnhb
