SW-02
Zurich Wheel Lock - Circa 1640

This
22-inch pistol is very similar to our Dutch Wheel Lock,
only with a slightly more rounded butt and a more pronounced
lock area. Designed from an example smithed by Felix
Werder in 1640, the overall design is typical of standard-issue
military wheel locks of this period, and would be an
ideal side-arm for anyone of central-European persona.
To
the right you can see an example of this bandgun's design
origins.
