Hi Dale and welcome to the Forum.
I agree with Rick as to origin of this gun.... Moroccan Tetuan North Coastal Region.
Re your comments about pulling the barrel. I think you are giving yourself quite a challenge as the upper part of the barrel is bound to the stock and does not use bands to attach it. Unless you have devised some way of removing it without damage to the original metal work I would suggest leaving it as is. The cracked frizzen is probably not too much of a problem as I suspect that Rick has something in his parts box to replace it.
Here is a similar gun which I have in my collection.
