As is to be easily seen the lockplate is a flat one and has a brass pan. This shows that it cannot be a French lock. French locks after 1763 used to have rounded lockplates and the flat French lockplates before 1763 never had brass pans. So France is in contradiction to the opinions of readers in Trump country completely out! What it could be is a Swedish Infanterie-gun M 1738. This gun had a flat lock with a flat cock and a brass pan.
