Having come to the end of the year and the end of my efforts to confirm the W & C Scott and Son origin of this legacy double, I've pulled the locks and am sharing pictures with the hope that someone here can confirm if they are indeed Scott locks. Sherman Bell mentions in his DGJ 14:2 article on W & C Scott and Son guns that he pulled and examined a lock on the 14ga percussion double that very nearly mirrors mine but unfortunately he does not include a picture of the internals. The size, shape, pin positions and engraving layout on mine are identical to his which is built after 1862 when the name W. & C. Scott & Son came into being and is engraved in the same manner and location as W Morse & Co is on mine which bears 1868 proof marks.
Would anyone with knowledge of this era design or a similar gun for comparison be able to confirm if this is a Scott lock?
Thanks again to all of you for your interest and help.
