Two Locks for Viewing

[rickystl]

A couple more early X-Mas presants. Two new additions to my lock collection. Both of these detached locks would be difficult to locate. So I feel fortunate to have them. Just thought you all would like to see them.

The first one is Pattern 1752 Spanish Military pistol lock. Complete and functional.
The second large one is from a Pottsdam musket. Early to mid 18th Century. Also complete and functional.

Are the grooves in the ones frizzen filed in or worn in?

Thank you all for your replies.

Jerry: The grooves on the frizzen face of the Spanish lock were made intentionally. A common feature of Spanish locks.

Cowboy: Honestly, I'm not sure how many locks are in my collection. LOL I would guess about 40/50.
