Removing Battle Locking Steering wheel, help needed

I'm looking for the secret to remove the steering wheel lock from the column. It was made by the BATTLE LOCK COMPANY and of course the key is long gone. I cannot see any pins that could be keeping the lock in place. Some paint does remain that could be hiding a pin. If anyone has any knowledge on how to separate mechanism from the column please share. The gears at the top of the column need to be checked and greased

While I am not familiar with that model sometimes the tumblers need to be removed first to get access.
When I buy a car with a missing key here is what I play with.
Sometimes it can take a long time but usually is rewarding, eventually.
