This one is a bit tougher. I went through my books and found some good matches. Germanic/Prussian,Austrian artillery carbines dating apx. 1770-1790. The cock is a replacement (note: small pawl directly in back of the cock) that acted as a catch like a doglock. The cock that's on there now not only looks out of place but has no cut out for that pawl to engage. Interestingly, some 18th century Spanish military pieces are fit with this extra pawl/catch and share similarities with the mystery musket. However, they were mounted in brass. Hope that helps. GS

on a closer look, the above red marked statement is not quite right. i have tried to get a better pic and i do hope the cut on the rear of the hammer could be seen quite well.

I agree. The detent on the cock for a dog lock would be much higher on the cock...about the 9-10 o'clock position when cocked....and more pronounced.

Usually the cocks on dog locks are flat faced also. In fact I don't recall seeing one with a round face hammer....I'm sure there's one out there though. :hmm: Martial arms aren't my area, typically.

Enjoy, J.D.

OK, today the auktion ended.
the mystery musket sold for 751.00€ which is close to 900.00US$

too much for me for an unidentified musket, with a "maybe end of 1700ths".

thank you all for your suggestions.
