Michael,

Thank you for the explanation re. engraving on lock internals.
It is good to be here again and talking to you!

Rick,
Silesian might not be far from the mark, we will see when you have photos, but it sounds like Maybe a Tzchinke...(Cannot think how it is spelled!)

Generally fairly small claibere, with distinctive stock shape,...Eastern Germanic/Czech. ....May be way off, but more often than not such pieces have external mainsprings.
