I have made some research and it showed that the name "Nimrod" is not of a gunsmith but the name of a mystical king described in the bible, he was famous for being a great hunter. The Nimrod locks have been developed by Thieme & Schlegelmilch, an old company from Suhl, the German gunsmith Mekka. The Nimrod locks are basically improved sidelocks but my English is not good enough to give a precise technical description of the construction. In any case the locks are much safer than the Holland & Holland construction with considerable lower trigger pulls. I read about the locks in the book "Double Rifles" from Norbert Klups, where You can see a photograph of a Nimrod lock made by the German gunsmith Ziegenhahn (www.ziegenhahn.com), who makes best quality hunting weapons for premium prices.
