Hi,
Any experts on French or French style arms that know what this is? I’ve got an old lock plate that looks very similar to a French lock from 1728-1754… but I’m not really sure. I’m thinking of getting rid of the ill fitting Potsdam hammer of restoring it back to its original configuration.
The lock measures 6 3/8in X 1 1/4 in, just a tad shy of the 6 1/2in length this other French lock that I have in the final photo. It has a detachable pan.
Maybe it’s a dragoon lock, maybe not even French? Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!
