I would take it to Dixons Muzzleloading in Kempton. They should be able to help you out.

I have it nailed down to 1650. 1680. Ottomen Empire area. I think it was a export to there. But not sure from where Prussian I was told and Russian another. I dont beleive the russian is correct

letters were usually the makers initials.


If it's not an heirloom. I'd find a knowledgeable auctioneer .
