Dutch, at least the side plate looks Dutch.

100%. Mid 1700s is my guess.

Thanks everyone!
The only piece missing is the top jaw of the cock, jaw screw, and bayonet ( if it had one)

it did indeed have a bayonet. The lug is under the barrel in your last picture with the quarter.

I have little background with these guns but when I saw  the buttstock profile I thought Dutch.  :-\ :-\

It appears to be a Dutch Type III musket.  Ref: Moller 1 Pgs. 389 - 392
