What do i know ? Indeed the barrel is the more suspicious section; note that its back is integral, whereas allways the tang and plug are separated from the barrel ... am i not right ?
But talking about screws, although the lock plate screws don't seem right, having a much too perfect end, for the period, i guess.
The lock itself looks too new, i would say. The trigger guard filing detail is rather raw, don't you agree ?
Remember what the other guy said about this piece being a kit ?
But i will not issue a final diagnosis; don't know enough to do so .
