    Thanks for the post.

    In "Scotish Firearms" by Claude Blair & Robert Woosmam-Savage. There is section on "Long-Guns (Chap. IV) They zero in on, what they ID as being "purlily "SCOTTISH. According to them "A register of Scottish Long-guns ( pg.38-44 ) there are only 28 "survivers" of "rare" genre. Almost all are snaplocks. They do mention one flintlock. ( dated 1703, made byJn.Stuart)

    IMHO, I agree with Woodsheal, that is an import most likely from the Low Countries.

    Scottish by association, not genre.
