Thank you for posting these pictures, Michael.

Very nice to see such well made solid locks, in such good order.

I was a bit surprised to see so much engraving on the internal face of the last one, but then again,... a wheellock has to be removed much more frequently than other locks for cleaning, so the inside would be appreciated each time it was dismounted!

Thank you again,
Richard.
