I've seen the painting! But seeing the re-enactment is priceless!
Well they' look the part' every ones looks squiffy, The greatest compliment you can pay a reenactor is "You look the part".
Bit too unclear to see any screw head don t see a matchlock even ,I do see unusuall lock it the one clear view .... Cheers RudyardRudyard, is that a Phillips head screw on that matchlock?!?!
Yes the Matchlock its a phillips it wasnt so much' built' but knocked up in disgusting hasteRudyard, is that a Phillips head screw on that matchlock?!?!
At the risk of asking a stupid question, do these locks have a separate frizzen spring or does the main spring do double duty?Hi Cyten
Thanks so much for posting these photos along with information on your visit. Wonder if this shop with restored pieces has a website offering their restored items for sale ? Very cool.

If you are talking about the Caucasian style miquelet locks, yes, they have a separate frizzen spring. The spring is just hidden behind what we call a fence.At the risk of asking a stupid question, do these locks have a separate frizzen spring or does the main spring do double duty?
As Bedford County Doc hinted at, that's a reenactment of the painting "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks"
