Yet another project in the works.......
I have an original Caucasan (spelling?)miqulet lock. It is a very tiny lock. Even the gold (?)mounts are all intact. The lock is complete and working except for two problems: 1) The top jaw screw is missing about half it's length of threads. Looks like it broke off a long time ago. There's enough thread left to thread into the bottom jaw, but not enough to insert a flint and tighten down. There's enough material to size the thread. What I need is a new threaded piece soldered/welded/brazed or ? to the thumpiece - which is also has gold embelishment. 2) The top jaw also had a small square guide pin to align the top and bottom jaws - which is missing. You can see on the bottom of the top jaw where it was soldered at one time.
Does anyone know an imaginative locksmith that would look at this and see if this can be done? Thanks.
