The sign ofer the "MA" might be a cannon. The "MA" could stand for "Miliär-Arsenal N°1240"

It certainly does look like a cannon and some type of inventory mark.

I'd all so love to learn something about the unusual screwless lock mechanism.

Hello

In any case, punching with M A 1 2 4 0 seems to be very recent. The alignment of the numbers is perfect. It looks like a unique punch and I don't think it's a punch from a modern military arsenal. Less than an old arsenal. Will it be a collection number?

Affectionately

I am not certain what you mean by that, Dana but, this reminds of a gun i was once shown by Rainer Dehnhardt, in that there was no externl screws to dismount the lock plate. After a long night trying to crack the riddle, he had the idea to lurk into the ramrod cavity wirh a flash light ... and bingo; there by the bottom was a 'button' to be pressed to open the mechanism.

I think that the lock is much later than the rest of the gun and certainly a replacement - the replaced piece of wood at the left end of the lock is a clear proof.
This kind of lock, where all mechanical components are hidden at the inside of the lockplate may have been invented by Henry Nock but there was a Danish gunmaker C.W.Kyhl whose very similar contruction found use in the Danish cavalry pistol M 1807 - see foto. It would be very interesting to compare the inner side of the lock with the Danish lock made by Kyhl
