Hey Guys,

Here what is listed as an Austrian percussion musket. It is in fact not very well documented. Muskets others than French and English made are not my cup of tea!

What do you think about this one? The serial number is... 666 or 999 if you are an eternal optimistic! ;-)

Any comments are more than welcome.

Thanks so much JP... a Lorenz!! I knew I had already seen this particular shape but was unable to remember what it was. A Lorenz make lots of sense now!

Great input JP, thank you for taking time to dig a bit in the flint world!!
