Combination Halberd / Matchlock for comment

Hi all.
I am interested to hear your comments on this Weapon.
Made of Iron its in Relic condition.

I can only think its a Hand Held Axe with Matchlock.

The Total length is 41cm, the Barrel is 16cm with a 12mm Bore.

As can be seen theres a seperate Lighter that although degraded would have reached the Touch Hole.

Theres two makers marks that although degraded appear to be the same.

What period do you think its from? It looks as though it was a River find.

Many thanks!!
