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.
