Real or copy?
I am not very familiar with european wheellock arms. A friend of mine showed me this one. It is original or a latter copy? I think the colour of the metal parts do not seem like iron! Please give me your insights.

The pointed stud protruding from the lock looks like it winds up and the cock holds a flint that would run against the internal steel rotating wheel to create spark.
However it does look like the stock has been carved from a 2x4. The lock looks like a rough sand casting. |
