Probably that old lock DGW sold many years ago.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I was looking at one of their old catalogs earlier. It looks like lock number LP0901

not much help as to what that lock should be, but i just had to comment on the circle sawn wood behind the gun.
raised by a mill wright and love the kerf marks and finish.
you may have to get the builders lock kit and fit the plate to that inlet. not much wood to fit a lock by opening the inlet. great looking pistol though.

I dont think this is corect but its close. This is from the CVA colonial pistol they sell.

There are a few auctions on Ebay for them. Good luck
