Hi Fernando K.,
Thank you for remarking that. So it is left-hand lock which is very unusual, and I should not have inverted the image. The number 1588 and the other cyphers are certainly old inventory nos. Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 4th January 2012 at 10:20 PM. |

Extra Button on Wheellocks
Fernando K.
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 |
