In Harold L. Peterson's book "Old Firearms" you can find a foto of a wheellockpistole made by Le Page in 1829. It is said that it probably has been made for target shooting because of the smooth acting wheellock without influence of the aiming process.
Perhaps the matchlockpistol in question has been made for the same purpose? |
