Great looking smoothbore. Looks like a lefty to me too. An I believe that be a Caywood lock which I really like ;D
Nothing beats the feel of a handmade southern iron mounted flintlock on a cold frosty morning

I was wondering who's lock that was wattlebuster. A fine smoothe by Mr Pratt. If David gets tired of it I'll take it off his hands.

Seen it this morning, very cool gun. Reminds me of a similar gun he had H.House build for him back in the early 80's.
