Lucky You

I’m no firearms expert either but from everything I can see, it is real. Since you disassembled the lock and didn’t mention concerns about its functionality, that is a pretty strong indicator of authenticity for the entire piece. As far as value goes, it’s an authentic flintlock blunderbuss, well decorated, and good condition. Antique items like this aren’t common, so I would say it’s quite valuable. I certainly wouldn’t mind having it. Be patient. Sooner or later the firearms experts on the forum will weigh in to give you the information you seek.
Sincerely,
RobT
