Help Identify This Flintlock

[Gingerbeard Man]

Evening y'all.
Got this in some stuff when my Grandpa passed in 97. I know it's a wall hanger and have no plans to do anything else with it but I'd sure like to know what it's origins are and how old it may be.

Thanks for the investigative work.

Decorative only. Never a working gun. $100 wall hanger from N. Africa.

Optimisticaly called a "Turkoman snaphaunce" by some sellers but that is not an actual gun in my opinion.

Thank you. Every once in a while I'd try and find something on Google. My best guess was an Inuit hunting rifle that just had a rough time in the elements.

Also looks styled after a Jezzebel ?

I'll bookmark this post and come back to prove you wrong on at least one of those statements.

Here's the last bike I put together before we moved out here to Georgia.

I could see this being a likely ID. My Grandpa traveled the world and used to trade Americana for things he found interesting.

Man! That's a fun word to have in your Google search history LOL.

Do you have any image references or links you can send me to? All I found were unrelated.....but very entertaining....other articles.
