Lock Identification
I came across an 1801 flintlock that is stamped with REA... I'm guessing this is the company but cannot find anything on it.
There is a heart shaped stamp with an X in the center with the following letters in the heart:
V at top of X
E on left side of X
C at the bottom of the X
I on the right side of the X
If anyone has any information on the company or the markings please let me know. Thank you all in advance.

Need to see pictures. There are way too many variations.

Sounds like a lock from the East India Company. But pics are vital to be sure.
The V should be read as a U (like some Latin inscriptions) and so VEIC = United East India Company
