About this work
Percussion lock, black painted, mounted over the lock support. At the location of the touchhole is an oval hole; the hammer, mounted on the right side, is bent to land in the center of the hole. The pull cord is original and is attached halfway along the hammer, from where it runs over a small disc and then under the hammer backwards through a ring. Scale 1:1.
