The East India Company locks were mostly sub par and and were made specifically for sale to colonial regions. That is why they did not pay as much attention to them as they would to ones made for the Royal troops mostly marked Tower. Today I asked some dealers about where the fake guns are made and this was the answer I got: The ones that are really hard to identify as fake are made in Darra (pakistan) and the one that are much easier to identify are made in Kabul (Afghanistan) and then they are these 2 brothers in Kabul who made these realllllly nice pistols that are super hard to identify as fake. I have seen their work and it was really nice.
