Hello y'all;I picked up an old beater "gun" recently,only because the lock intrigued me.It appears to have been flint,with all the holes in the right places,but has a very old percussion hammer.Anyone ever hear or DB Richards?The lettering is in Gothic style.Thanks.I am still trying to figger out how to post pics.Why is it so complicated on these forum sites?Thanks,Dave
