Strange. I like strange. It’s cool

Nice! What is the date of it?
Awesome, it's like a cross between a "classic" flintlock and a miquelet lock
Very nice. Amazing how simple the mechanism is.
Trying to figure out how I’d forge that sear spring with the tenon. Might be a bit of filing involved!
I like the dovetailing idea for creating it using period approaches. I could dovetail it and braze it. Harden at below braze temp for the quench, then off to the races. I have to think of non-welding approaches because I never learned welding. Might try to find a course but there’s a huge difference between cobber-level welding and the precision needed for small parts with tight tolerances.
