Was looking at a flintlock musket, more of a fowler, really, that has a crown, a bird and TVLL on lock and crown and bird on top of barrel. Anyone know that mark?
 
Uhhhhhh, that would be:

  • The Crown ... as the mark of the French King, over
  • A a Fleur de Lis ... not a bird, as denoting the property of France, over
  • TVLL or TVLLE or A.TVLLE for the armory @ Tulle

But they were marked in different fashions ...

I think it’s maybe a Centermark fusil.

If I’m not mistaken, Alex Efremenko described them some years ago - mostly what was not historically accurate about them.

You usually see the Flur de lis on the Lockplate. Ahead of the pan or on the tail of the plate.

The crown over TVILL was a standard stamp with initials of the lock inspector where were varied.
