Comments on old barrel?

[arilar]

Have a cap-lock (se Thread under Percussion: "Help dating a cap-lock"). The barrel is the oldest part and has inscription "HALRIG COBURG 1661". Former belonged to a wheel-lock? Anyone familiar with mark or inscription? Gladly to get every input!

Regards,
ARILAR :grin: :thumbsup:

Nice barrel. Most likely a flinter as they were being made as far back as 1640.
