Bakers seem popular Some had the round faced lock if its not too critical the L&R Queen Anne might suit you or perhaps Chambers lock. The UK 95th reenactors use to buy Indian made locks to make up their rifles long before Sean Bean & Sharpe's came along & cast there own mounts at local brass founders However there was no alternative then Incidently Richard Moore was doing 95th for years & he & Bill Whitlem did really good 95th in the UK Napolionic Assosiation When Celtic films decided to do the series they sought a real expert not some book man but a devoted student of the regiment All enquries led to Richard so up rolls some flash car knocks on his flat explain their need well. Richard really knew his stuff So they say' 'We need you Richard '' He was working as a driver for a Brass founder he had a job . Ok what they pay ? they listen & say we will put you on a thousand a week retainer thus Launches Richard as Historical Adviser & later Bill Whittlam as Armourer / A job I also sought . You see them in the films just the odd speaking part but there on many episodes Unfortunatly he was concussed by a ground charge and its affected him ever since. How helpful that is ?. But figure it would be of interest . He did some Hornblower later I camped with both first & second company & KLG Nr the fields at Waterloo I didn't do rifles just 92nd in the event a ' Regiment of Three' June 1995 Col Benton Jennings .'' Stumpy the piper & Me Sole O R was it !
