Interesting, if I’m not mistaken that lock is a CVA part, like the ones on their Kentucky rifle. Might be an easy conversion to flint.

Could be. Not sure if they mark them. And you are correct about converting to flint.

I could be wrong, but I think the first initial is a “T” so “T.W.F.”

Suppose so. Script can be weird. Move the letters around and you have a question.

That's a great price! The parts alone are going for that right now.

Reduced again. Probably the bottom for the Spring season.

If this was a flintlock, it would be at its new home already.

Any chance of seeing a photo of the inside of the lock? Reason it is obviously a CVA lock and they made two versions that look almost identical externally. One was a cheap version with no fly or bridle on the tumbler and the other was a perfectly adequate one with bridle, fly and sear stop.

Truthfully, the rifle looks like an old Dixie Gun Works to me. Semper Fi.

Don't think so. I have had several. Too whispy for a Dixie .
