TRS Miqulet Lock

[rickystl]

Not sure which Forum this question belongs, but here goes. I don't have the catalog with me, otherwise I would provide the part no. The Rifle shop lists an early 16__ miqulet lock kit. Does anyone know where I can view photos of early miqulet locked firearms that would use this type of lock? Thanks for anyones help.

My website has a few scans from some of these. The really early guns are hard to find pics of. Theres a painting from 1630 called "the knife grinder" by Antonio Puga which shows a Castillian long fowler albeit with the "ajugeta" lock not the one you have, but the stocking would be similar
