 What is the origin of the gun?    Possibly English?

Those Swedes were pretty funky, for sure. Imagine if some had moved to North Carolina, or Virginia, or Pennsylvania around the time of Christians Spring and so on and had started a “school” or two.

I believe the design on the rear of the stock could hypnotize you...  :)  Maybe they faced that toward game or foe to make easy prey.
