Engraved lock--Thanks Robbie and Nordecker

[Don Stith]

 I was the lucky winner after Nordecker gracefully passed. The timing could not have been better. I am working on a stock pattern for a flint Hawken and this lock will go on the prototype  Might have to beg Robbie to let me pay him  to engrave the patchbox.  The prototype will be fancier than proper for what I think the actual rifle should be. Kind of thinking the prototype will be my tribute to a riverboat captains Hawken. Not going to be ready anytime soon.  Have to get moulds made for trigger guard and a lock

Congrats Don.  Sounds like a great use for a very cool lock. 

And Robby, thanks for your generous support of ALR.

Hey Don, The lock is on the way!!! We got a huge snowfall here and it was touch and go but I made it to the post office and back. Sounds like a cool Project you have in store!!!! Thank you all who participated and for the kind words.

 We only got 11 inches of snow but have a 3/8 thick sheet of ice on the driveway Freezing rain came after we plowed the drive
  It is 650 ft long with a 20% grade  Been putting salt down for past two hours.  Ready for a nap

Told you when you moved there that when it snowed you would need to stay home

The lock arrived today.  It is even prettier than the photos.  Your reshaping of the plate is a terrific upgrade. Now if I can get over the headache from falling on the ice I can get to work. It functions great too.
Thanks for the beautiful work
Don
