Gunlock (Percussion)

Percussion lock, black painted, mounted on the right side against the lock elevation with two bolts with wing nuts passing through the lock elevation. The hammer rotates at a right angle to the barrel; the pull cord is attached in the hammer's stock and runs through a ring backwards. There is a support for the hammer when it recoils. The touchhole is covered with an iron plate, which is pulled back by a lug on the hammer's axis when the hammer rotates.
