The amount of a gap there is at the back side of the dolls head is an indication of a couple things. That the barrels were set back a lot, or there was some crude filing done in that area. Or both. More than likely the former. When the barrels are set back on the breech, that are opens up some. It is what it is. This amount is a lot. There really is not anything functionally wrong with it. As long as the barrels are on face.

that makes a lot of sense now that you mention the engraving. Thanks
