Gulielmus Smith said:This one is a bit tougher. I went through my books and found some good matches. Germanic/Prussian,Austrian artillery carbines dating apx. 1770-1790. The cock is a replacement (note: small pawl directly in back of the cock) that acted as a catch like a doglock. The cock that's on there now not only looks out of place but has no cut out for that pawl to engage. Interestingly, some 18th century Spanish military pieces are fit with this extra pawl/catch and share similarities with the mystery musket. However, they were mounted in brass. Hope that helps. GS
