in the form of a curved arc at the rear end of a probable Brown Bess musket.
A contact of mine in the Republic of Ireland is thinking about buying this gun, which is in a very poor state and currently in France. Mr David Minshall has kindly provided an opinion as to its actual identity, but the OP still has no firm answer to his question of the stamp.
What I know about British long arms of that period could be writ in large letters on the eyelash of an angel, so I'm appealing to the audience here to help him out.
His original post can be found on gunboards.com under the British arms forum, with a reasonably good image of the area around the lock.
