Those are as nice as it gets.  I thought most Hawken Pistols were percussion.

In light of the recent discussion on where the flint strikes the frizzen, it is interesting to note that on this pair.  Same kind of locks and flints seem to be similarly placed.

Big difference being they were hand made by Jud. They’re going to work perfectly.
