The german name for Burgundy is Burgund, the French name is Bourguignon. Could the name Burgunond (on the flintlock), be a mixture between the two languages, meaning Burgundy?

Yeah, Marcus,

I was absolutely sure from the very beginning that it read 'Burgunon' for Burgundy.

A valid assumption Fernando

Burgundy had a Spanish duke during 31 July 1621 to 17 September 1665 (Phillip VIII).
Louis XIV became king only after 1643 so a Spanish name for Burgundy might very well be the case here.

thank you
