Well isn't that a nice little matchlock, Michael!

I feel rather tempted to have a go at one similar!

The one I made, was just done with ideas from books, and decorated in the German/Dutch /English style. (Little lively animals, and hunting scenes, and flowers and "fruit and nuts"!
Do you have a decent picture of the works of a snapping matchlock?

Thanks again for the pictures.

Richard.
