I recently aquired an old musket. I don't know anything about these old flintlocks.
I'm looking for some information on the rifle and it's value. I would love to hear from the experts on this things pedigree and what it's worth.
It will be most likely be headed to the EE as it doesn't fit with the rest of my collection.
I attached some pictures of all the stampings, I will add some more pictures of the complete musket as soon as I can.
Thank you in advance.

Flintlock, beechwood stock, Belgian proofs. About .74 caliber, bit over 12ga.
Photos of the gun would help.
 
I think you have a "trade" gun, one made in the 20th century, either for 3rd world sale or to take advantage of the interest in muzzleloading guns which surged in the '50s. Assembled using both available old stock parts and newly manufactured ones. While not contemporary, I don't think it is as old as it appears.
 
Tiriaq correct again.
Everything bad on this repro. All Stamps, buttplate, rod, lock dimensions. This stock is beech, has no beaver tail and too thin. Leige did make some Bess for Brits, under contract. But not this one.
 
Thaks for the replies fellas.
As I said I know absolutely nothing about these flintlocks. Way outside my area of expertise.
What would a value be for this thing? It will be going into the EE and I have no idea what to put on it for a price.
Thanks
