Sorry, but: no.

I have been closely studying earliest European firearms for more than 30 years and am well able to discern a true wheel-lock from a true matchlock.

Best,

Bplek:

I do not understand. Might be more explicit?

Thanks. Fernando K

Hi Bolek,

First of all, I am afraid we're facing a certain language barrier here.
Secondly, I beg your understanding concerning the fact that I cannot repeat all I have been posting on these topics for more than two years.

All I can tell you is that all the functional parts of a characteristic wheel-lock that you marked red actually never existed on this matchlock; there are no traces of the respective screw or rivet holes whatsoever.

May I recommend reading my former posts on both match and wheel-locks?
I hope this will add to a more profound understanding of the matter.

Best,
Michael

Yet this is not the end of the work, a few days I finish work and show 100% effect.
but you can see the full function of the mechanism for snap matchlock

Greetings to all.

Great, Bolek,

You sure did a good job!

I also watched your other videos on youtube on the Dresden puffer and the flintlock pistols - excellent work!

Best,
Michael

Thank you!

Returning to the theme mechanism ... drain system is likely to cause a small dust popularity of this mechanism.
