Phil, they are commercial locks. They were all purchased complete with the exception of the matching set of english locks. Those two were castings that I bought from Peter Dyson in England. The lockplates, frizzens and cocks were purchased and the rest of the parts I made. They are not quite complete as I still need to make one main spring and both scear springs then the whole interior needs to be cleaned up and finished. The castings were made from an original set of William Smith locks. I had Peter putty over the engraveing before making the molds so i could engrave them to my own taste. I forgot, however, to ask him to do the same for the cocks so they arrived with the original engraveing cast in them so i recut it, added the running leaf boarder and did the plates to match. Here are the interiors so far. That looks like a nice set trigger assembly. I appreciate the pics. Thanks
Marty, I started engraveuing just to do my muzzleloaders and still pretty much only do muzzleloaders or related items.
