Agreed. 1911 pistol part. *See below*

Looked at it again. It's not, although at first glance in a picture on screen it resembles it. Leaving original comment. See comment below.

This is not a 1911 part.

Most notably, that "Leg" on the sear doesn't look like anything I've ever seen on a 1911

It looks to me like a sear from some sidelock mechanism, but that's the best I can offer.

Edit: But that part looks exactly like a 1874 sear... https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/449420.htm

Wait. I looked at the picture again. Is the part symmetrical or is the sear edge attached on the edge sitting on the table? And the hole is round, on a 1911 it's more square. Sorry. Not a 1911 part.

I have seen roughly that shape in side by side shotguns with external hammers. The triggers in a TTN hammered coach gun look a lot like that. This one would be for the right barrel; the one for the left barrel would be a mirror image.

The true sear in the sidelock engages the hammer; that long horizontal projection pushes on the true sear to release the hammer when the trigger is pulled. The part we are looking at does not engage the hammer directly, I think. Maybe.

Reminds me a lot of a Siler lock sear.
