Then I would have to agree, it probably was of Spanish origin. Being a fan of Spanish sidelocks (AyA, Arrieta, Grulla are the ones I have first hand experience with), I see a lot of "Spanish" in his sidelocks.

The Malin I reference above is a boxlock. To date, all my research indicates the boxlocks were made by W&C Scott (on their action) for Malin, at their works at Tame Road, Birmingham.

But as I said, everything is shrouded in uncertainty, rumor and conjecture.
