OK,

1. Nothing wrong with a Box lock

2. You wouldn't want a Sidelock Lancaster (Wrist Breaker) as most people think they are hard to close. re price, you are correct, my old Sidelock Lancaster (Wrist Breaker) is for sale in the US - I think on Champlin's web site.

Their is an OLD thread on the gun on another forum where someone asked a question about it and I recognised the gun so replied.

3. Get or Take some photos and post them up here - it is so much easier to give an opinion with photos and with today's technology - digital cameras and mobiles with phones in them, it should be easy.
