Wheellock Mechanism Parts and Their Correct Labeling

[Matchlock]

Hi Marcus,


Gosh, you actually did it!
Thank you so much. It was quite a joke between 'Nando and me, I would not have expected anybody to achieve this aim.


I have only very few suggestions to make as long as you can still edit and alter your post in the course of today:



3: wheel cover plate screws

9: dog with upper and lower jaw and tightening screw (it is not a hammer as it does not strike)

10: combined pan and wheel cover plate

15: dog retaining screw



5: combined wheel shaft, excentric and chain

7: pan cover

8: pan cover plate

14: dog with upper and lower jaw and tightening screw

18: dog retaining screw

19: safety catch spring

20: swiveling safety catch

21: saftey catch screw

28: combined left sear and right trigger release spring

31: left main spring pin

37: combined right sear and trigger release spring


Anyone with other sugggestions?


Best,
Michael

I know its getting down to silly detail but their doesn't seem to be a general agreement about a descriptor for item 30/38. Proposed 'trigger release '
Other variations include 'trigger lever' or 'secondary sear'. I sometimes refer to it as a 'prop' because that describes what it effective does. That is props up the tail of the primary sear locking the primary sear into the wheel. I think my preferred descriptor would be 'secondary sear' in order to avoid confusion with some earlier locks that use a single sear .
