Stock form suggests restocked by 'Another ;' if likely in its working life, I Might be way out but the lines of it do suggest long post W lock period have you an overall pic?.
Yep, that's unusual. The value of the trade is up to the traders but it is above my pay grade for sure.
Overall pic of rifle or lock? Both are posted already.
Of the four pics non show overall view it seems one other & a learned scholar thinks its it possible restock. still fine. I thought you sought opinions .
I re-visited the pics; it seems that picture #4 did show an overall view of the right side of the arm, but only when clicked to enlarge it!
Someone with the means might have it restocked for improved fit. Or simply because he did not care for the original.
Well the restock does appear rather Modern in forms . The Butt plate seemingly added , but original on another gun. possibly 18th C and off a very fine Continental gun .Part of its history no doubt but the original stock would be more classically. formed .The two screws to hold the fore end cap & that protruding muzzle. Suggest more recent styles . Wheellocks can have plain forms' paddle butts 'ect . But many had a cheek stocking the recoiling taken by the gripping fore arm guided by the large cheek stocking held firm by the right hand . An interesting rifle no suggestion of fakery .Certainly it got us interested ! .My guess the stocking is probably 20th C .but Ime open to other views .Phd Brewer might offer his view perhaps ?, I have catalogued for major museums and been around this stuff a long time so its not any SWAG estimate. Wood worms can eat old stocks Who ever stocked it at least got his screw heads ' North & South ' wild guess is he was English ! (Few Americans take care with the alignment of Screw heads .
