flintlock lock ID
« on: April 19, 2023, 02:10:24 AM »
I bought a flintlock, modern components.
The flintlock itself has an R stamped into the bolster.
Any ideas on who made the lock?

Thanks
Jim

I can tell you with certainty who did NOT make it.

I thought it was a Siler but don't know if it was one of Chambers.  :-\

Hi,
It is a large Siler lock.  Not sure if it was made by Chambers.  The R stamp is probably the assembler. I have a large Siler with a D stamped in the same place.

The lock is a large Siler lock that was assembled by us.
