I’ve recently acquired what looks to be a period late 16th/ early 17th century ball butt miniature wheellock, it’s stock is made of burl walnut and I was just wondering what your opinions on it are as I’m not an expert and just wanted to know if you think it is authentic for the time period.

I know this miniature since a very long time and I would have bought it when I would have been sure that it is an original................

Are there any ways of determining The authenticity of the piece as I know it can be difficult by looking only at photographs

A good help is to check the threads of the screws, they should not be the same as those in use today
