The holes in the plate are due to the springs being removed

In the top picture our little brave hunter is drawing down on the charging dragon one of his dogs has had enough of the fire breathing dragon and headed out while the other dog, off the picture to the left has the dragon by the tail. On close inspection one will see that the hunter is useing this rifle to shoot the dragon. I intend it inlet a small dragon on the hunters weapon I also may place a third dog standing behind the hunter peering around his leg . There are more scenes on other parts of the weapon. The words'' Der Drackan Jager'' ''The Dragon hunter'' appear in 1500's German script on the lower part of the cheek piece.

Dennis ... you did an expert job with this.  The inletting in second to none.  The photos just never will do your talent enough justice.  I hope to fire this one day.  Never fired a wheel lock before.

Honestly, when I opened this post up, I thought these were photos of an original!!  The work certainly conveys that impression... Very impressive.

Too bad Yall can't see this up close and personal.  These photos do no justice at all to this work of art.  It really is amazing and with the inletting looks like it came out of a museum housing 16th. century firearms.
