Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent.

Looks right. Could still be used with a bit of knapping.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

Looks nothing like it to me. The ones I have seen have always been pretty much a perfect square, very thin, and much smaller than what I see in your hand. Something more along the size of a thumbnail but almost a perfect square is what you want to see.

How wide is it? The largest locks I can think of would take a flint no larger than 1 1/4” across the face.

Could be Dixie Gunworks sells different size ones for different guns. A quick look had them listed 3/8' to 1"+ basically about square on most but it all depends on the lock mechanism for your the gun
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

The top being flat is what to look for vs a thumbnail scraper.
