Snaphaunce Lock for I.D.

Michael: The last set of four pictures you sent showing the better quality gun: Except for the top screw, the lock on this gun is almost identical to mine. Notice the curve on top of the frizzen, the more narrow lock plate, the hammer stop positioned higher on the lock plate, the design of the hammer stop, and even the two holes in the pan cover guide. Rick.

Thanks for pointing that out, Rick!

Still, the actual style is different, and so is the raised, roped sharp rim.

Best,
Michael
