I had someone who I trust and knows a lot more about antique gunmakers and flintlocks than I do take a look at it. In my pictures the hammers are at half-cock. At full-cock they are a lot further back and he immediately said that it seemed like a long way for a hammer to travel to ignite a cap. His opinion was that it was a flintlock that had been converted.
