Lock

[MAC57]

Need some help with a longrifle that just walked in the shop. Looks to be a southern style rifle. 45cal. Inside lock plate marked H.W.Robbins. Also stamped 8-14-71. It is flintlock. Will post pics later.

Harold Robbins from Detroit MI area. Not sure but seems his tooling was acquired by somone else years ago. Cochran maybe??

Harold Robbins worked in Ypsilanti Michigan and made good,serviceable locks and triggers.
He was confined to a wheel chair but told me his bench was low and it was something he
could do.I met him in Friendship in 1965 (I think) and had sold all my locks and triggers and
offered him my space on the corner of the sheep shed but he declined because of hot weather.
I THINK he may still be alive and past 90 years of age.
