I don’t understand firearms at all, but I have seen such fastening with rattan strips on the scabbard of Dayak swords.

It appears to me to be an Indian torador matchlock. Not sure about the markings, maybe this particular musket was assigned to an arsenal in British India. Nice fleamarket you went to!

Perhaps a typical Indian Toradar, apparently registered (by the Brits) in the arsenal of RANCHI, the capital of the State of Jharkhand.
