G'day All, I am new to this forum, but not to muzzle-loading having caught the bug back in the 1980's. I am hoping someone can help me, I have a custom made .61 cal Jaeger rifle and I am trying to identify the maker of the lock. Unfortunately my friend from New Zealand who made the rifle for me passed away some years ago so I cannot ask hem. I have attached a photo of the lock, the only markings on it is a D in a circle stamped on the back of the lock, just above the mainspring. I did not take a photo of the back as it is quite hard to see. I would be most grateful for any help. Cheers | ||

It appears to be an R.E. Davis jaeger lock from what I can tell. I'm often wrong but the Davis jaeger lock looks very much like your lock. It might be a custom lock. If so, I'm at a loss. And welcome to the campfire, Sgt 73rd Regt. *Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.* | |||

Thanks very much Hanshi!, I know that it is not a custom lock and I know that my mate in NZ liked R.E. Davis locks. Just wanted to lay in a spare frizzen and frizzen spring, just in case. Cheers | |||

Hiya! Hanshi & Sgt! You are correct, Hanshi, that is a Davis lock. His id touch mark is a D inside of a circle, so getting the spare parts should be no problem. You can go to his web page and send them a message with photo's of both sides of the lock and an order for the parts wanted. Hope this helps!

Thanks Crossfox & Hanshi for your help, I have been to the RE Davis website to drool over their locks! | |||

Curious why you would need a spare frizzen and mainspring. Been shooting blackpowder for 45+ years. Never needed them.These are good locks. hootalrifleshop.org | |||
