I am not a gunsmith, but believe that the lockplate, aside from being supported by the opposite lockplate, is otherwise only supported by wood inside the action. The next owner will probably have the wood repaired, bringing the lockplate back where it belongs. It is not something that should be done at this time by less than an extremely talented restorer.
