I just got this lock in a box of misc. parts at a gun auction. The only mark I see is what appears to be "rr" in a circle. Can you identify the maker and age? Thanks.

Hmmmm. RR or JJ? Looks like it could be cleaned up and returned to service, but just a guess. Lock bolt is broken off in the bolster and a missing screw.

I'm relatively certain it will return to service. It is functioning, but it barely holds in the half cock position. A couple passes with a file should fix that. I have a brother who builds rifles, but only flintlocks, so, when I figure out what this is, it will probably be for sale.
