I see exquisite hand-crafted work of the highest order.
Miquelet locks may be a little clunky but if I had that gun I would probably sleep with it.

Looks good to me!
Another pic off the 'net, identified as Spanish style. According to the info given the miquelet is an early form of flintlock but with parts exposed making for easier repair and maintenance. It also makes for more robust and reliable spark.

Not sure I would shoot it. Too pretty to get smoked up.

Kinda got me wanting one now.
That's an assault rifle, short barrel, folding stock, very cool!
Nothing wrong with the looks of that. But those of us who love the muzzle loaders, particularly those of the flint system, find them all handsome.
No offence, but I think you're weird. You smoking mushrooms? Lol.
Just kidding, of course.
She ain’t ugly, but she’s got broad shoulders….
