We concur. But I don't think it's a kit, otherwise we'd have seen plenty of others, and that's not the case. In fact, I have only seen one like it in a weapon's book. All others are merely reasonably similar.
Filipino armorers can copy most guns in a couple days. The odd thing is that it came with a real 18-19th C. spanish flintlock pistol, both bought concurrently from the very same source.
I'm at a loss here.

But talking about screws, although the lock plate screws don't seem right, having a much too perfect end, for the period, i guess.
The lock itself looks too new, i would say. The trigger guard filing detail is rather raw, don't you agree ?
Remember what the other guy said about this piece being a kit ?
But i will not issue a final diagnosis; don't know enough to do so  .
