Smoothbore, about 20ga. 42" barrel.
I am fascinated with this piece.
A friend picked it up at an auction brought it in for a cleaning.

My guess is Spain.

Looks Spanish to me too

Hi,
Look for maker and city marks stamped on the barrel.  It looks Spanish, Madrid, from the early 19th century.

That stock style is known as the "Madrid stock" but was used by Spanish makers nearby as well.

Invariably very powerful locks and a Chinese puzzle to take apart if not used to them!
Escopeta?

Apparently, these guns will often stand upright on the buttplate unsupported.
Having said that it doesn't sound a good idea!

Looks in Very good order.

It does stand on its flat buttplate (if I am inches away)
No markings on the barrel
I have not removed the lock yet but I am familiar with those letteral sears...I will not be taking it apart
I've seen pictures  but never had a chance to play with one in the shop before. The stock is slim and the ramrod is fully enclosed in the forestock.

Kevin,

What I Do like, are the few Germanic rifles that followed this Spanish design in the fluted buttstock.
I think they can be very attractive and have a barrel in the rafters to make such a gun.

There are two shown in Harold L Peterson's book, "The Great Guns".  One by Michael Wagner in Cronach, 1703, and one by Paul Poser, roughly the same time period.
Can't recall if they are in George's Jaeger book...

I remember now. I have that book too, Richard. Beautiful guns.

I added more pictures.
