Need some intellectual guidance

[bugdust]

Looking for help identifying this converted flintlock smooth bore that I recently purchased from an estate sale. It's half octagon with a .62 bore. I can't make out the name on the lock and I thought someone who is experienced with these old guns may know. I will include some pictures of the lock to help identify it. Any help will be surely appreciated.

This is most likely an English trade lock.

Mike your probably right but at 80 my eyesight is poor at best. It has metric threads so I imagine the lock is surely foreign made.

English trade lock makers in that time used threads that don't conform to current commonly used imperial measurment pitches. 26 and 33 pitch threads aren't unusual and are really close to metric sizes.

Hard to make out what is on the lock. Kind of have the same eyesight problems you do. The lock shows no sign of having been converted from flintlock.
