Hi Stu.

Yes, I totally agree with the origin. And the gun has all the hallmarks of this Region. There is some small information I have somewhere, with a brief mention of the butt stock with the slight drop versus straight. It's not in either Elgood or Tirri's reference. I just need to have my memory jog to remember where I read it in my reference material. But I'll find it and report back.

By the way, you are lucky to find one with the lock in working order. Great !!
Usually the sear is worn down and will not engage in the hammer. If you get a chance, post a pic of the inside of the lock.
