Thanks,
I did appreciate it.  Having built four myself, I can fully appreciate the work involved.  Mine were not that beautiful.  Three of them actually functioned.

Thanks Kent - those are beautiful locks.

Here is a plain (in comparison) wheel lock Taylor made. note, 2 wheels - one for flint, one for quartz.



And the pistol that uses it. Note the sterling silver wire & parts along with the ebony stock.
