The Belgian Musée de l'Armée in Brussel holds another sample with triple wheellock spanner, ca. 1570-80, the screwdriver missing.
It is shown with the hinged basic plate of the top mount open so that one can see the riveting of both the horizontal spring-loaded cut-off lever and the internal little plate that actually closes and opens the entrance of the nozzle as it moves together with the cut-off.
