You could then call it a carbine ... or a 'clavina', if it were in my local early period terms. Still considering that the barrel has its original length, the stock is a bit out of proportion, as too large ... don't you think ?
If you can't discern the maker's mark inside tle plate and you are a collector maniac, you must burn your eyelashes spending some time figuring out what it says
