Close-up of the Collier revolving flintlock musket. When the frizzen/priming box is pushed down into position over the pan, the forward-curving pawl engages the attached wheel and rotates a mechanism in the priming box 120°, doling out a measure of powder. The bottom of the priming box serves as the frizzed. Photograph from the Rock Island Auction Company.
