I mentioned your post over at the FTDNA Big Y Facebook group. FTDNA's Göran Runström was interested and said your friend's son might belong to something downstream of R1b-BY14355. BY14355 is just downstream of R1b-M343 and parallel to R1b-L754, which is the most frequent Y-DNA haplogroup in Europe.
There are quite a few ancient samples under BY14355 in FTDNA Discover's Ancient Connections. I started a thread on BY14355 here.
It would be great if your friend's son did the Big Y-700.
Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us.
