Flintlock 4 Cylinder Revolver For Comment

Hi Dana,
Very interesting pistol. I do not often post in this section of the Forum, but have a healthy interest in old firearms of all types.
From the pics, it is not evident how the cylinder rotates. I assume it is hand rotated around a fixed mounting which holds the barrel?
Is the cylinder "locked" in any way to avoid accidental rotation?
What safety measures are in place to stop cross ignition between the cylinder tubes?
How does one demount the cylinder for cleaning?
It would be interesting to see some "exploded" pics of the pistol if possible.
Stu
