I do not know the exact model either but both stocks are clearly of beechwood, which was the characteristic type of wood used for Central and North European military guns from the 17th to the 19th c.

Hi Cerjak,
Almost all of my 17th c. matchlock and wheellock muskets are stocked in beechwood, and they all have been fine for 400 years - give or take a worm hole or two! ![]() Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 26th April 2012 at 09:54 PM. |
