I've asked Jim if he can try and get a better image of the engraved letters on the lock, if I get one I will post it.
Now to the reference books ... let's figure this one out!
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

This is not a flintlock. It is a miquelet. This is a Spanish precursor of the flintlock; however, its production life overlapped flintlocks. The easy way to identify them is the mainspring OUTSIDE the lock plate.
As a machine, miquelets are reputed to be very rugged.0
