On the lock, normaly the stamp is in the middle of the circle.
Is it possible that the guy was drunk and missed the circle to stamp the edge of the barrel?

LOL!! Yes it does seem to be a bit unusual location for a maker's stamp. It's deep too.

Grand looking gun, Rick!!

Hard to date these barrels, as they were used over and over.

Not loaded............that is good. :-)

Just got a matchlock from the UK.
Had a firework, some sand and a 6" oval nail down the barrel!
