Greek flintlock rifles

Hi Coorado.

What a great looking and interesting Greek long gun. I really like how the carving on the butt stock blend so well with the rest of the gun decoration.
It appears to have come with it's original wood tompin, used to keep the muzzle/barrel dry while carrying during foul weather. Very neat!!! Usually these type of accessories end up being lost over the years.
I'm not quite sure from the photos, but the lock appears to have a "roller" on the frizzen spring (?) Can you confirm this ?
Again, a wonderful example from your collection.
