Until we see Rick's Tschinke, I recommend concentrating on this unusually fine and early Nuremberg wheellock mechanism I photographed in the Tojhusmuseet Copenhagen. The gun it belongs to is dated 1548 on both the barrel and the stock.
Now isn't this a breathtaking piece?
For the whole gun please see
