Flintlock LOCK - What is it?

[FrontierMuzzleloading]

Have a guy over at my place trying to figure what the heck lock this is and what it may have been on? To me, I see modern screws and some sorta bubba spring to hold the sear down. The hammer also has no hole for a screw to hold it into place?

The addresses for the pictures work if you go directly to them.  Maybe the IMG link problem is because dropbox.com is a secure site?  Dunno.

It's a lock off a Miroku British Sea Service pistol.

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have guessed it was from the Phillipine Islands based on the screw slots.

My first thought was from Fred Sanford of Sanford and Son.

Give Fred some credit.  That is the ultimate in junk.

Saw one of those just the other day.  A neighbor has it.  O/R bbl and all.  I didn't get to pop the lock off the first time.  Mebbe later-if i have to, but no rush.

Didn't Fred Sanford's sign say "Junk bought and antiques sold"?
 I remember one episode when he found a revolver in some junk
and said if he was caught with it he'd be charged with the assassination
of President Lincoln.

 The best part of these guns was that your average Joe couldn't make them shoot. The frizzen was made of cheese, I think. I half soled one of these, when I was just starting muzzleloading, and got it shooting for a friend. The first shot it leaped out of his hand, went about ten feet, and broke the stock. The barrel I referred to in a previous post that has no breech plug came from this gun.

There is so much good stuff out there...why do you torture yourself with this?  It will never be more than it already is.

 Laugh if you must, but if you were in need of a replica of a British sea service pistol lock, you would have to spend a lot of money to get a lock plate, and hammer, as close to the original as this lock. The internals are junk, but the plate, and hammer, are spot on. The museum in my town has a buck, and ball, gun, that lost its lock some time in the distant past. The lock was replaced with a sea service pistol lock, by a previous owner. When I took the gun apart I expected to find the junk internals like the replica, but was pleasantly surprised, when I found nice quality internal parts.

Bob, theres an episode I remember where Fred procures a " Revolutionary War" musket and it goes off from him screwing around with it. The rest of the show is around him thinking he killed his Jewish neighbor.
