    I have lots of flintlocks but not a matchlock. However, I have friend that is repairing a Scottish swantail matchlock and I'll see if I can get some pictures of it for you if no one does before then. He works nights so it may be a few days before I can meet with him.

    You might also check your local library and see what they have. There may be a general history on firearms that shows the lock.

    I owned a matchlock for awhile, but the charm quickly wore off . Decent priced ones can be had from Albion Small Arms in England:
