What you mean mirrored, Michl ?

O.k. then, you scoundrel,

When you're here with me in Bavaria you gotta show me how you did that, you computer crack!

Best, and thanks a million,

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,
Michael

A finely etched and gilt double lock and barrel wheellock pistol, made by Peter Peck in Munich, Bavaria, in ca. 1540-45, preserved in the Met and dismantled to all its single parts.

Have fun jigsaw-puzzling!

What ... do you expect me to insert a legend in each part ?

Well, 'Nando,

If anybody can manage to do that, then he must be a computer cracker like you!

Best,
Michl
