Snap-Tinderlock Arquebus with Left-hand Sided Lock Mechanism
... made for a left aiming arquebusier.
I knew I had seen it somewhere before, and here it is, right in my archives: Nuremberg, ca. 1525-30, in the Brukenthal Museum Sibiu/Hermannstadt, Romania.
The long tubular rear sight missing from the barrel, the two original pods for it preserved.
