Contemporary Lock Marked ASHMORE

[BigSkyRambler]

Are any contemporary builders marking their locks ASHMORE?

That’s from way back in the 60s-70s. Nobody out there making those things anymore I’m pretty certain.

I made a number of them using cast plates marked Ashmore and they had matching hammers.This probably in the late 1960' or early 70's.My locks will have my last name inside and a year date or later USA.I have no plates now other than one marked L&S Hawken made using an antique lock as a mould master.

Thanks.  This one is on a fullstock Hawken flintlock.

Here's a Hawken flinter I made a couple years ago for a local fellow.  I used an L & R late English lock (#900 I think), and did some file work and engraving on it.  I engraved "Ashmore Warranted" on the plate.  I think Ashmore's warrantee is defunct, but mine is good.
