Real or copy?
 

I am not very familiar with european wheellock arms. A friend of mine showed me this one. It is original or a latter copy? I think the colour of the metal parts do not seem like iron! Please give me your insights.

This is a modern copy.

Sorry to say ... and not even functional ... :o.

The pointed stud protruding from the lock looks like it winds up and the cock holds a flint that would run against the internal steel rotating wheel to create spark.
However it does look like the stock has been carved from a 2x4. The lock looks like a rough sand casting.

The spring of the pyrite holder has been constructed from a sheet, and the end was bent to fix it to the platen (plate)
