Help dating a cap-lock?

[robinghewitt]

A date like that cerainly gets my juices flowing, do I see deep, round bottomed rifling? :grin:

The Germans had a long standing love affair with the wheel lock, so 1661 would have to be a cheek stocked wheely.

OTOH, the wooden trigger bow screams Germany/Austria BUT where are the sling swivels? :shocked2:

To be honest I'm really starting to like the European styling. After looking at American plains rifles and long rifles and everything in between, its nice to know there really is something differant under the Sun.
