Have you any more pictures?
A few points.
The Inletting looks v rough and lacks finesse you normally see on weapons of this period
Generally the wood discolours where it butts up against the metal over a few hundred years.

The squareness in the frizzen and the lack of rounding where the toe hits off the spring might be a clue to recent manafacture

also it is a left handed mechanism which is a biit unusual or is the image reversed

Looking on my phone so image is not great so I might review this post later
Regards

Ken
