Can you post photos of the serpentine (hammer) from all angles and I will see if I can show you the route that the match cord (rope) would take.

Here is a link to a place that sells matchlock match cord.

Thanks Estcrh,

most helpful, I will purchase some cord and take a photo of it set up. The other point I am curious about is, when I compare mine to other examples the butt is very different lacking the two semi-circles to the end.

Cheers Cathey and Rex

I would not worry about ther stock, there are other examples that do not have circles.
