Tschinke Wheellock Rifle for Comment

Hello all. A new acquaintance, and a local collector living in my city, showed me a new purchase he just made. He says this is a Tschinke/Selician Wheellock rifle. These are the first two pictures, but I have been promised additional close uo photos and a description of what he believes this gun to be. I have personally held this piece. It is in very good condition and is complete with it's original spanner wrench. The barrel is swamped octagon and has eight groove rifling. It has a fantastic overall patina with no chips in the wood, or anything missing. More photos to come in a couple days. Thanks for looking. Any additional identification appreciated. Rick.
