Any pictures and dimension for a Chambers Jaeger lock?

Plan to build a .66 cal rifle with a dutch influence around 1710. Would want to know how this lock looks like.

find a track of the wolf catalog.  It has pretty accurate outlines for many commercial locks.

Thanks everyone, that's what I was looking for.
The L-20 lock is not on Chambers webpage, that's why I was asking. James Rogers nailed it and Monty showed it how it looks. One of Montys guns even has the Strasbourgh engraving showing. Great gun. The dutch locks were mostly french/english style smooth round faced locks

The Track Catalogue shows parts full size ( maybe you knew that) The lock they show actually fit into a Marshall kit that I turned into a short Jaeger based on one I saw on the web.

The point is that you are better off with a picture than trying to work off dimensions as listed.  If you are not stuck with the mortice, you're actually better off.
