If you want one, you'll have to make at least the plate and hammer from scratch.  You might be able to adapt the guts from a left-handed Manton lock by L&R.

Internal parts from a left handed small Siler work well also.  ;D
You would still have to fabricate the plate and hammer.

L&R used to show a lefty in their catalog. Might be worth while to give them a call and see if they
have a few parts laying aroung.
