Thanks Michael,

Do you also have a picture of the inside of this mechanism?

I imagine a spring on top holding the sear in place rather than underneath the sear like those in other matchlocks?

edit:
O wait, i already see the spring attachement inside the lockplate on one of your pictures. The spring was situated underneath the sear, only at the other side of the pivoting point (i think?)
