I am not Superman, J.-M.,

Meaning that I do not have anything like 'Rontgen' power.

In order to try and qualifiedly answer your queries I definitely need good, big and detailed close-ups - for comparison, please check out the quality of images that I usually post.

I would also have to see a clear view of the inside of the lock mechanism.

What about the ramrod finial detail I inquired about?

From what I have seen that far the butt-stock of this pistol comes close to some English 'Cromwellian' type items I have seen, which of course were based on the Netherlands' style.

Best,
m
