    Unidentified lock

    Over at one of the metal detecting forums there is a discussion about the identity of a found Civil War era lock, anyone want to give it a try? Thanks! http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/ ... 999.0.html

    Is the Question...

    ...what type musket the lock is from? Looks like a French or Belgian copy "back lock" from one of their smoothbore muskets.
