Apparently there is not enough work at the 'London Chapel of Perpetual Mess-Maine', so CC has been digging through his old pic file.
For you experts
1. Who was the maker?
2. Describe the two different locks
3. When were they made?

We've got a 'hint' pic in reserve if some help is needed

Extremely close Erik! But look again. The difference is not just size.

The mainspring perches are very different, but I do not know why. Oh, wait. Rebounding and non rebounding?

The upper lock has a mainspring rebounder above the link. Beautifully made!
