Where can I find a fancy sideplate for Chambers "Dale Johnson" lock? That will fit the existing sideplate and use the same bolt holes?

People either survive in the Jungle, or exist in the Zoo. Few recognize the significance of the paradoxical reconciliation of the two. It takes a rare individual who understands how cunning and aggressive one has to be to acquire an Estate in the Jungle.

Jim Chambers flintlocks. This looks similar to his York side plate.

Hi Bill,  If you can't find what you want - make it out of a piece 1/8" brass plate.  I have done it lots! I have some brass if you need some.

How about getting the one you have engraved?  any number of folk on the forum can do that.
