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.

dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
