Default More multishot wheel-locks

The "duck's foot" pistol in the Musée de l'Armée, Paris, ca. 1625-30 (the dating "ca. 1615" given by the museum is too early)

The others, from top:

Hofburg, Vienna, ca. 1560

T.W. Dexter scrapbooks, 1950's, ca. 1580

The Art Institute of Chicago, ca. 1610

Fascinating examples.
