Indian/Afghan/Islamic Flintlocks & Mathclocks. Any interest?

I picked it up over the internet. Probably a mistake. I was hoping I was getting some great deal. You really have to handle pieces to get an idea. My bad. I got the book on firearms and saw mother of pearl used in this area. Thought it could be correct. Most of the mother of pearl have the little brass and wax piece in the center. I also took the dealers word that nothing was missing. Not sure what you mean by work? Is there someone that restores these, and does it add value? Thank you very much Ward.

Lovely gun NW.
I've always wanted one of those!
I've had flintlocks, matchlocks, PCs and even a wheel-lock european pistol, but never a miquelet.
Whats the muzzle like?

The muzzle is plain. No flareing or anything. Just a little brass sight piece.
