Relic Lock-Need Help with the ID

[jpc]

Relic lock that was found in the wilds of Lower Canada. Only markings I can make out are on the back of the bronze / brass pan. Lock plate is 6 1/2" (16.5 cm) long.
Likely of French origin.
Any information is appreciated and thanks in advance

thank you and look forward to any input.

The brass pan leads me to Charleville style with a pan that was replaceable. Brits did not try this 'till much later.

A German Gentleman on another forum suggests it might be "Swedish Infanterie-gun M 1738. This gun had a flat lock with a flat #### and a brass pan" and I think it fits. ☺

thanks again for you input and help
