I have a .45 cal full stock flintlock with s Russ Hamm lock. Maker? Is inscribed inside patchbox lid, possibly Milewicz?  Any info appreciated.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Not ragging on you in particular, but guys join all the time and start asking for help without doing their due diligence and familiarizing themselves with the site.

If you go to the Tutorials section, you will find how to post photos as a sticky at the top of the Miscellaneous tutorials.

Thanks. I actually did try to look for this info before posting but it was buried under tutorial>miss C tutorials, which I thought from the heading was gun making tutorials.
