The pointed stud protruding from the lock looks like it winds up and the cock holds a flint that would run against the internal steel rotating wheel to create spark.
However it does look like the stock has been carved from a 2x4. The lock looks like a rough sand casting.

Hello

The spring of the pyrite holder has been constructed from a sheet, and the end was bent to fix it to the platen (plate)

Affectionately
