    What did you do today

    Windy, cold and snowy today, so I fixed a leak in my basement shower, helped with laundry and built a pizza from scratch for supper. Have a 750 piece jigsaw puzzle on the go as well. LOL

    USA kits to Canada

    Lock I.D.

    Thanks Phil. Looks like the main spring is held in place with a screw which looks like the head is broke off. No mounting holes in the bolster or front of lock plate so I think it was never used............Daniel

    Lock I.D.

    I have to tune it first, the sear nose catches the half cock notch at the moment. I also think that the tumbler may be soft...........................Daniel
