Re the locks on these TRIBAL GUNS..........where the East India mark is found, I would think it most unlikely that it is anything other than the original.
Why would one bother to fake the mark, as the weapon it is attached to is OBVIOUSLY not the original E.I.C item! Remember that E.I.C had armories in India which made guns , as well as those supplied from England. The marks of course would differ slightly in style and application depending on the armory from which they came.
In my humble opinion, ALL those locks are the real deal.

good luck with that theory. Why would you copy a piece,maybe because you could not afford the original,it was unavailable because your neighbor did not like you having to many arms,maybe because the seller thought he could sell it for more,you live in a remote area and you do not have a local gun dealer from india,east india company or england,tradition
