Seems the topic of discussion has moved from the pistol I first posted and on to the Eiber pistol which was shown by Philip. Anyway not to worry........
An observation regarding the conversion shown by David R in #10 above....the hammer face does not squarely meet (and indeed from the pic would not hit the nipple at all) so either the hammer is wrong, or the conversion is a combination of different barrel and lock.

Agreed. And BTW, where does that excellent summary of gun locks come from?
