currently working on a scratch build of the Brandenburg Berlin (1674) and all the Berlins on this site show belay pins on the gunwales and railings. It is my understanding that belay pins did not come into fashion till around early to mid 1700's (1720 and up ) Being this ship was of German origin not British is it possible that the were ahead of the game or were lines and falls tied off to kevels  cleats and railing like most ships of her time ? Any advice would be appreciated.  thanks in advance.

There are many opinions about this. However the discussion in this link tells that belaying pins were in use in Europe in the early 1600s:

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
