Wow, NEAT PIECE!! Thanks for showing it.

"Sort of" a Pattern 1730 but without the lock aprons that go down close to the trigger guard.

Is that a "return spring" just ahead of the trigger?

Not totally sure. First thought was it was the forward part of the trigger plate but did LLP use a true trigger plate?
 
OK, just to be sure, I looked it up in both Bailey's works plus Goldstein's and Stuart's "The Brown Bess." Yes, indeed the P 1730's had a true trigger plate.

It may be just a shadow of something else?
