I decided to make two keys for the wheellock.
It's a pity that I'm still a bad blacksmith...

If you think of doing another may I suggest an early pistol diamond plate. To my knowledge nobody is producing one and if you complete it dismantling and 3d scanning the parts might allow it to be reproduced.

I had to shorten the chain and plate that presses the wheel axle.
