Aside from your incredible craftsmanship and ingenuity, I love seeing your posts because they are generally Scandinavian arms that we don't get to see very often.
Slightly off-topic, but I wanted Runastav's input, are there any good books available in English on Scandinavian muzzle loading firearms and accoutrements? I've found things online in the past through museums and what not, sometimes requiring translation, but I haven't seen a good text on the subject.
Short version of my particular reasons for interest: I'm of Scandinavian heritage and grew up in a small village in Illinois that was settled largely as a Swedish colony. My childhood home that my parents still live in was the second Swedish parsonage for that community and is directly next door to a historic chapel and graveyard partially filled with the immigrants the perished in a cholera epidemic in the mid-19th century. Growing up, we sung hymns in Swedish for special holidays, had visits from the king and queen of Sweden, and hosted a traveling choir from Sweden, so I've kind of had a lifelong interest in my Scandinavian roots.
