Michael: Thank you so much for your response. And, THANKS for the really cool pics of very early specimens!!! Great to look at. The one notable difference with my lock is the wider frizzen face (battery). But the other features, like you say, are decidedly English. Hmmmm. The tumbler on this lock is not even worn. As well, the lock bolt threads show no evidence of having been mounted on a gun in the past. Under magnafication, I don't see any evidence of blasting, cleaning, etc. This is leading me to believe this lock was never mounted on a gun. Again, thank you so much for your imput. Rick.
