I'm sure I've seen this somewhere, but how is the pan assembly attached to the barrel of a matchlock? Or is it merely adjacent, and somehow screwed or pinned to the stock?

How is matchlock pan attached to barrel?

Some matchlocks had the pans integral to the lock, but most seem to have a separate one. I only own 1 matchlock - a tanegashima (Japanese matchlock), which has a serparate pan that is attached to it's own plate, which then is attached to the barrel with 2 screws. I think I've also seen some that were soldered on the barrel directly.
