English-Deutsche Wheelock Terminology Glossary

[XVIIc Wheelock]

Again refreshing myself with another review of Landeszeughaus Graz, Austria Wheelock Collection...seems every time I open this incredible piece of literary genius....I find something I want to share, maybe or maybe not there is interest:

 

[Flint62Smoothie]

Surprised they used the term 'cock' instead of 'dog' ...

 

[TobJohn]

Surprised they used the term 'cock' instead of 'dog' ...

they could be referring to the part on a flintlock. The page has “frizzen” and the book has a section of flintlock pistols.

TopJohn is correct, of the massive 4lbs and 730 pages chock full of wheelock history/photos, the last 30 pages are dedicated to flintlock pistols. Maybe that's a lead into the next edition? I have had this book for a while now and only on page 484.
