Nice wood, really nice, but a fantasy build, not representative of a true Fusil de Chasse. French gun wearing English sling attachments? And way too much decoration even for a Fusil Fin, that would have been a brass mounted musket anyway. And locks would never be adorned on the tail like that.

Still, with all that said, clearly the builder had talent and the arm is striking on its own, so just go shoot it & enjoy it!
 
Yes indeed it is a fantasy build for sure. Way too nice if it were supposed to be a replica.

Well real FDC were on walnut and plain. Howsomever guns did get restocked and apprentice gun makers had to practice at some time. Maybe restocking a plain gun?
I’ll tell you what, if’n your ever dissatisfied with’n a ‘fantasy gun’ I’ll take it off your hands and put on a 1750’s outfit and shoot it proudly.

Honey‘s response:

Me: Juice jaws told me I could
