Hi Bandook.
That is an interesting musket. The downward curve of the butt stock reminds me of the Algerian Berber guns. But the wrist area has the slightly wider diameter of the Moroccan guns of the Tetuan Region. Hmmmm. But I've seen that butt stock style before. I'll look into some of my other research material on these guns and advise.
The snaphaunce lock on yours is made in the English style. The other style encountered is the Dutch style with the wider hammer.
That's a nice Moroccan Beehive Flask!!
