Flintlock cock found

[Hill Billy]

I was going through a can of iron finds I had saved from last season when I realized an item that looked all of the sudden familiar.Was pretty sure it was the arm from an old flintlock.Put it in the what is it section yesterday and it is what I thought it was.Glad I save everything and didn't send it off to the scrapyard.

Cool finds. It's so neat how diverse this hobby is of all the different kinds of finds out there.

Wouldn't it be a cocked hammer??

Reminds me of a State Department friend of mine that used to ask me why I was the only one that would call him Richard.

In original terminology it is the cock, what we now call the frizzen was called the hammer.
