Haven't found what I think is a definite match, but am wondering if there are initials (I K? I R? L K? L R?) within the more clearly-struck mark. If so, there are some similar (but not exact) marks associated with some of the Kletts, and I found the below with the initials L R. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

This can also be a Nuenberg mark, see Neuer Stöckel p. 1095

The proof master'... will mark all kinds of barrels made in this city with the coat of arms of the city crowned with fleurons; musket barrels bought from elsewhere with the same coat of arms with a crown with simple pearls. Utrecht 1628 , modified 1659 and 1667. Is the reference to 'simple pearls' the three dots that seem to feature in a number of marks ?

That's nice. Can I ask what the bore and barrel length is please? Very interested in the debates around the use of musket rests during the mid C17th and whether lighter muskets is what led to their demise, or where they just discard anyway.
