Michael, thanks. The first link in post no. 4, I now believe to be a reproduction made in India recently. The third link, to a militaria dealer's site, shows a lock with extensive markings I've never seen on any other lock. Since it physically resembles the reproduction shown in the first link, down to the detail of the omitted flash-hole in the flashpan, it is at least "suspect." When I became aware the lock I had (shown in first link reply no. 4) was a repro I tried to find that posting and could not, thanks for doing it for me. Now to "fix" it!

One of the latest cannon flintlocks ever made, dated 1846, sold at Bonhams today.
