Another Lock Marking Question
« on: June 23, 2015, 10:09:07 PM »
I know I have run across the answer to my question here before, but can't seem to find it in my site search. Anyway, I just bought a nice used Virginia style flintlock rifle with a lock marked on the inside plate with capital "R"s stamped back to back. The first R is backwards up against the proper R. I do not know how to type an R backwards on my keyboard.  Does anyone know who this lock maker is?

The lock was assembled by Robert (Bob) Ray who assembled locks for us for several years.  Bob lives in north Asheville, NC.
