The Last of Us
One of my relatives from The Long Ago was a guy named Jacob Honaker. He was, among other things, a rifle maker in these hyar hills, and has an entire town named after he and his family - Honaker, VA, that used to be called "New Garden".. In Williamsburg, VA, is a display case showcasing a rifle he made, and that flintlock in a case that appears at 1:02 and again at 1:42 of the promo reel looks an awful lot like that cased rifle.
I'll never know, as I don't have access to HBO stuff on my Window on the World.
