Well, I don't know for sure. I have a black powder pistol kit that is missing some items. I found a colonial pistol kit on Ebay that has the same lock, trigger, barrel and trigger guard assembly. That one is identified as a Markwell. I found a website that sells advertising information and they have a Markwell catalog from the mid 70's, so I think that it is Markwell. They were located in Chicago back in that time.

Nick, At www.brownells.com you will find numerous springs and spring stock for making your own. BUT, try www.dixiegun.com FIRST as they also have springs that can be used on most any BP firearm.

Parts that can be modified to fit most any muzzleloader are availailbe from www.dixiegun.com and from www.trackofthewolf.com What you do is send a tracing of the part you need both the entire patch box assy and the specific portion you require..if they can't match the door, they can often supply a replacement assy that you can re-inlet into your stock.

Unfortunetly, "YOU" may now be a parts source as the only sources of parts for these are from parted out guns..ones that someone else couldn't get a needed part for..However..there is a company that specializes in such aftermarket parts. Whether the Markwell is one of them..I don't know....but... YOU can check at www.vtigunparts.com
