Just one more note:
Alexander, As you called it a rifle, please remember that the barrel is of course not rifled but, as I wrote, smoothbore. m |

Hi Alexander,
Please forgive me for not replying any earlier, I somehow must have overlooked your request. ![]() If I am getting you right you wish to know whether the wheel is outside or inside the lockplate. It is outside but extremely small and narrow, like all earliest wheels on locks; it is centered by a spindle and surrounded by a very delicate sickle shaped dog spring. Does this answer your question? ![]() |
