Hello, i always thought that this military looking flintlock musket has a little different than usuall shape in the stock. Today i noticed a hollow engraving on it that states "1657"!! It seems that the shape corresponds with the date, what do you think? I find another relevant post in this forum and a musket with the same date seems very similar.
