I was scrolling through the Flintlock Collection web site and came upon a fowler by Joseph Gulley. On close inspection of the lock I noticed a small loop on the pan cover next to the vent. It would appear to move the prime away from the vent on closing the frizzen, to avoid hang fires.
If you go to http://www.flintlockcollection.net/joseph-gulley/ and click on the picture of the lock. I'm no expert in antique flintlocks but this is the first time I've seen this.
