Here is a lock from a W & C Scott from 1870. Though it belongs to a hammer breechloader it was made during the late percussion era. Just a common gun made for export but notice all parts finely fit and polished. Lock is stamped “Stanton’s Patent” but I suspect it was made by another Wolverhampton lock maker, due to the small makers mark near the top of the lockplate. Patent would refer to Stanton’s rebounding hammer of 1868. Nothing crude here!
