Default more information on musket

hi, thanks for the feedback. here is some more information on this musket.
I have also found on the flintlock plate the following what looks like a stamped G with a very small stampd fleur de lis above this.on the frizzen plate are the letters VX. on the barrel near the touch hole is stamped the letters MR also on top surface of barrel are stamped H and in an oval stamp the letter G with a small star above. there are also 3 letters i can,t make out.on the trigger guard again in oval stamp is the G letter with the star above. the stock as the letter V stamp and on the plug a number 1 in the middle and what looks likeversailles around that. along the barrel are in gold the words compagnie des cent suisses du roi
ok chaps what do make of this, I can,t find any information on this at all, bar knowing that the cent swiss was part of the french royal guard.
