Just purchased the attached old flintlock conversion

Ok I will try this one
I think the leather strap and the feathers are just recent additions.
Personally I will bin them.
Your butt (your rifle) looks like a boyliya. I will say Ottoman gun from the Balkans, exported and refurbished in North Africa.

Agreed. Probably a fairly late one but it fits with what we see here.

Hi Ken

Interesting gun. This is a tough one to I.D. Hmmm.

It appears to have been assembled utilizing a surplus musket barrel and lock in the most economical manner possible. It's obvious the lock was originally flintlock and converted to percussion using a simple drum and nipple method.
But I think the lock was already in conversion state before this gun was assembled. Possible the barrel also. It does appear to be a good example of an amateur gunsmith's work.
Some additional photos would be good after you receive it. Thanks for posting.
