The carbine is in my opinion way too ususual not to have been cut down from a musket. Does it feature a riding rod (Reitstangl) and a movable saddle ring to the left side?
Even then the stock of the carbine and its forward sections must have been considerably cut down in size, and still they do not match what we expext to see: an average paddle-shaped carbine butt.
I woud be grateful for receiving good images showing the overall length of the matcklock musket which really should measure 156 cm all over, and have a weight of not less than 7-8 kgs. I would also need to see the barrel and lock marks of both guns.
Best,
