I'm restoring an old musket. It is a Belgian cone conversion, that's all I know about it. The lock, I was told, is a flintlock conversion. I can't identify it. Here's a pic What is it????

Looks like a basic trade gun lock, but the rounded back places it as either a very late flintlock (1820-35) or a percussion. The hammer looks like it's off an 1858 Enfield.

Have you tried calling Dixie gun works,or someone at The National Muzzleloading Rifle Association in Friendship In.?
