It seems more like a Berber gun from Algeria.
Beware! A lot of thoose are modern made. Virtually impossible to tell if it is a modern work or just a slumpish peasant gun from 1850.... Check if there is a hole drilled in the barrel in the point where the lock is positioned. It is a good sign. I saw a lot of repros and the first imression of yours seems to be original. Here is mine, Altit form of Moroccan Mukhala, 157cm overall. Silver and ebony, around 1930. |

Yes there are copies in the market but also it was a gun with long life. Some tribes in Sahara used them till recently side by side with AK47s.
