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.

Best,
Michael

Yes Michael it is beechwood and with this wood as you can see the stock could cross 2 more centuries without any problem

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
