Sorry Fernando . The lock I meant to post was the Romanof / Smyth lock which does have a separate manual pancover , like Evigneys lock evidently had . Although it is missing we can still see the post it hinged on. Therefore neither a half cock position or a doglock is required. Its a simple solution to the problem of how you keep a flashpan primed while the gun is not cocked . The gun is made ready to fire simply by cocking it and moving the flashpan cover out of the way .
