Hi Michael. Well, after picking myself up off the kitchen floor from a fit of kicking and crying, I'm OK now
 However, I've located two original Moroccan "parts" locks, both styled after the English lock, and both have their original top screws!! I can get them both very cheap. I'm sure the patina wont be an exact match, but proper cleaning could make it close. I'll save this lock yet!!!  Actually, this has been a fun thread. Research, investigation, mystery, and contact with Brian Godwin. I'll report back after I fix the lock. Thanks again for all the assistance - and hand-holding!! LOL Rick. |

Hi Michael. Thanks for moving this thread up to a current date. I forgot to post an update for my lock.
I almost missed Fernando's post. Thanks. And thanks for the additional Links. Hi Cerjak. That is a great example of a Moroccan, Afedali style long gun. Great condition. The lock on your gun is almost a clone of mine. Thanks for Posting your pics. Update: As mentioned earlier in this thread, this lock was missing it's top screw. I have four other original top screws that I thought I might be able to use? However, who ever staked that ramrod tip into the lower hole of the hammer destroyed the threads.  So, I had to re-thread the hammer and make a new top screw. Actually, the new top screw matches better than one of the originals would have, due to this lock being in such good condition. Anyway, here are some pics of the lock with the new top screw. Thanks for looking. Rick.
