OK so the butt has been reshaped to take the "pad". Not conclusive as to Coorg origin but still likely to be. As I have said before, the decorative work appears to be Indian rather than Arabian, so lets go with the majority of comment above, and say it is "most likely" to be a Coorg gun.
A very nice piece.

Interesting. This shows the butt cap was an intentionally added feature.
