Hi,
This looks, to me at least, like an Arab matchlock with probably an Indian made barrel with goatskin used as barrel bands ? A lot of these had a long working life so I would expect repairs from different eras. The barrel could be a lot older and more interesting than the stock and fittings. Here are two that I have for comparison.
Regards,
Norman.
