A finely etched and gilt double lock and barrel wheellock pistol, made by Peter Peck in Munich, Bavaria, in ca. 1540-45, preserved in the Met and dismantled to all its single parts.

Have fun jigsaw-puzzling!

Well, 'Nando,


If anybody can manage to do that, then he must be a computer cracker like you!


Best,

Hello Matchlock

Indeed, it is a blessing to see gutted mechanisms. Here in Argentina we have no weapons wheel, maybe two and a museum least see them gutted. At most we spark Arms (There is only one copy of wick) (matchlock). Thank you very much.

Affectionately. Fernando K

Thank you so much, Fernando,

I guess I perfectly understood that the translating machine you employed meant dismantled by 'gutted' and flintlocks by 'spark' arms.

Best/affectionately,
Michael

Not a wrong analogy, though
