very nice unusual matchlock,my first thought was that it had been reduced but the barrel says otherwise,ive handled quite a few of these bigger of course,but date seems 18th/19th century for sure,really like the brass flowers,and bone or ivory inlays nice find well done

Thanks Napoleon. These don't present themselves, very often. The inlays look to be ivory, as they have a distinct grain to them.
