Hi Galvano,
The lock is from the British India Pattern musket of 1815, and bears the British East India Company Lion Rampant. Likely an Afghan Jezail of the period after that date. Could be as late as early to mid 20th century, as flintlocks were used tribally up to at least that time.
Hope this helps.
regards Stuart
