Neat, is it a coil mainspring hidden by the metallic cover? Whats the little metal rod plunger adjacent to the bridle do? What gun utilized the lock? Obviously, I cant help with the patent search...sorry.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Somewhat similar to No. 2101/1883 by Grant & Adams given the locks' asymmetry.

Markus, you are correct. I am in awe. It is on a Grant gun.

Since we have time, can someone explain why the two locks are different.
I can't seem to figure out why the front end of the "cocking rods" are different. Both hammers are back but...?
Thanks, Dave

Dave, I cannot answer your good question. I do not own the gun that the photo came from, so cannot inspect more. Hopefully, someone like Markus will help us understand. The patent is addressed in Crudgington and Baker.

Division of labour: Right-hand lock cocks on opening; Left-hand lock's tumbler is brought to full-cock on opening but its mainspring is cocked on closing.

My "Holy Grail" of mechanisms.
I would beg, and plead for someone to record the operating efforts of that system.
.
Out there doing it best I can.

Division of labour - I'm sitting here laughing. I have to admire how your mind works to describe the locks as such. Thank you for explaining the difference because I sat here for five minutes or so looking at the photo wondering the same thing until I scrolled down and saw your post. And thank you Daryl for posting such interesting locks. I'm a died in the wool American SxS shooter but just love to see all the wonderful British guns and their interesting locks. I'd like to see a book published with all the different locks invented, and explained how they work. Just drawing would suffice, wouldn't need the expense of photos.
