Winchester Model 1907 bolt locked back

[GummyMonster]

Morning everyone, hope your summers are going well.
I bought a model 1907 semi auto .The price was reasonable and I have wanted one for many years, so I don't mind reloading for it. I admit though, that I know little about it's function. The bolt is locked open, and I am running out of idea's as to how it closes. I am hoping there is not a mechanical issue. How do you close it???
Thank's in advance
Ken

Hi Gummymonnster
On the front of the fore stock there is a round button /charging knob .You should notice a wee concaved spot on it ,carefully turn the concaved spot till it is under the barrel and it will jut foreward .Also keep fingers out of loading port as it should go forward with athority !

Here are some pics
this is locked open

this is closed

this shows the button locked open with the wee cut out at 9 oclock and to close rotate thebutton to 12 oclock to close.
