I don't read Spanish but the Google Translator says the original post says:

The divot in the cheek piece is interesting. Never seen that before. Why don't you start at $100 and see what he says. Chances are he will tell you his real number he has in mind after that. I always think it's incumbant on a SELLER to know what it is that they selling, rather than the BUYER to tell THEM. caveat emptor.

I've seen that indentation on the cheek side of some late 18th century French muskets.

the divit in the cheek piece is very common in 1777 CHARLIEVIEL muskets so a soldier can get a better sight picture by getting his cheek in line with the middle of the barrel to use the bayonet lug as a sight. the mod. 1775 did not have it.
