Welcome to the forum Mr Scratch

,
this is certainly not my area....Michael is certainly the man 'for the job'. Judging by the patina it probably isn't that old and the shape is quite 'crisp'.
I have been digging for further information about the possible origins of your piece but have been unsucessful , but have discovered that there are available 'working' replica's, some still manufactured/ available for sale, today.
Micheal....Would stocks on hand gonnes be 'standardised' I wonder....or, if fairly standard did individuals modify to suit their needs ? If this is the case...perhaps it gives Mr Scratch more 'flexibility' in designing/making a stock to suit the barrel ?
Kind Regards David
