[QUOTE="MBC, post: 79947, member: 1043"]You're wrong here. The mounts are held on with silver pins. A "Dutch colonial" period piece would NOT have the mounts inlaid and always visibly fixed like that. I have seen several others in the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, with the same kind of attachment of the mountings. The lock doesn't have a maker's mark. But I know that a lot of silver and locks from Indonesia or the Coromandel coast didn't had all maker's marks. So that is not a criterion to me.[/QUOTE]
