This additional mark is on the stock under the patchbox cover.

The sign ofer the "MA" might be a cannon. The "MA" could stand for "Miliär-Arsenal N°1240"

I'd all so love to learn something about the unusual screwless lock mechanism.

Hello
In any case, punching with M A 1 2 4 0 seems to be very recent. The alignment of the numbers is perfect. It looks like a unique punch and I don't think it's a punch from a modern military arsenal. Less than an old arsenal. Will it be a collection number? Affectionately |

Easy to agree that the marks by the patch box are not those of an arsenal; this is a non military gun, but a hunting one, plate decoratins and all.
In my view also hardly a collection number; with such four digits, what kind of large collection would it be ? |

This kind of lock, where all mechanical components are hidden at the inside of the lockplate may have been invented by Henry Nock but there was a Danish gunmaker C.W.Kyhl whose very similar contruction found use in the Danish cavalry pistol M 1807 - see foto. It would be very interesting to compare the inner side of the lock with the Danish lock made by Kyhl corrado26 |
