I suspect that could be a Dixie Gun Works lock with the tail cut off.

Scott, I was thinking the same thing, but I have one of the Dixie locks, and it is stamped with Dixies stamp right above the mainspring.

Thanks guys. I do know its going to find its way onto a nice curly small smr.
It sparks as good as my new Siler,heck, even my 1979 old lefty siler on my first custom build.
How you getting along Horse?
