Identify this lock Please
« on: June 20, 2015, 01:57:13 AM »
This percussion lock came to me in a box of random parts and I've tried unsuccessfully to identify it by looking at "mugshots" of L&R, Dixie, and Pedersoli locks.



The distinctive features, at least to my eye, are the bridle cutouts, the adjustment screw (red arrow), and the curve of the lockplate (also marked in red).

My guess is that it's Italian or Spanish, but thought somebody on the forum here would recognize it.    Thanks, SCL

I have a Spanish made Dixie flintlock that has internals that look like that.   However,  it is stamped "Spain".

Old stock CVA or Traditions.  The kind on their Mt. Rifle.

I've had a couple of Traditions with locks that looked like that one.
