You'll need to be a lot more specific or post images of the lock.

Dan,
I've got a pair of L&R back action shotgun locks listed here a bit further down the For Sale forum.
I also have a pair of matched Cochran locks.  Both sets are percussion.

 Those look like the Ashmore locks sold by Dixie Gun Works years ago. I'm sure others sold them as well, but I haven't seen them offered for a while. I think they were made in Italy.

If you have not found one let me know. I bought one of those locks from Dixie years ago and then purchased a second frizzen just in case.

Thanks all for helping...The Rifle shop lock is close, but not sure if the frizzen will be the same....I need a replacement for the left hand lock...

Dixie's web site doesn't list a frizzen available for that lock, but it wouldn't hurt to call them to make sure.  You might be able to modify a Rifle Shoppe frizzen to work.   The only other option,  a new custom made frizzen,  will be very pricey.  It would be better to modify a casting, or two, if necessary.

Get a piece of a broken off file welded to it.

I am not sure how the welded piece would take heat treatment and respond to the stress of operation.   It is certainly worth a try, but I wouldn't be surprised if it broke again.

A Rifle Shop frizzen is only $20 + shipping, and I think I'll go that route. I called Dixy and they don't have anything to offer. I know my customer isn't willing for me to make him a new frizzen. I hadn't thought about welding a piece of 1095 to the broken stub....Micro weld might work, as a last resort.....Thanks for all your help....Dan....http://dfruthflintlocker.blogspot.com/

Might be faster and less trouble to just repair the old one. I would try fitting a blank of 1075/80 to the existing base using a dovetail joint for some additional strength (easier with a mill) followed by welding. Once it was shaped up the repair should be pretty much invisible.
