Hi Fernando!! Thank you for the Link.

Dom: So sorry. I did not remember. I will from this point forward. Thanks.

This is an Algerian rifle from likely the early to mid 1800's. This is a restoration I just completed. It has a modern steel barrel liner installed inside the original barrel for safe shooting. The new barrel bands were made by Armourer John Katz.
The lock is the typical toe-lock style miquelet. Other than the normal decoration the only mark I can find is on the bottom of the lock as shown in the first photo above. Probably won't tell me much, but it might be interesting (?) to know. Thanks for any help. Rick.
