Blunderbuss sideplates!  If the spacing is appropriate for the lock you will use...

That's exactly what I was thinking.  They both fit the Chamber's round face lock I'm planning on using.  I might have to find some extra long lock bolts to get the lock on that big barrel.

Hi,
Both are Chambers plates.  Here is an example on an English fowler.

I was going through my Great British Gunmaker's book yesterday and found this picture of a Babar pistol. It looks like the exact one, but probaby scaled up.
