Thanks Marcus. I believe the ship sank in 1781 or 1782, so it would be a flintlock.

The distance between the tips of the yoke's arms is 2 inches, or 5.08 cm.

I've found indications that the grip is most likely from a French Marine Cutlass / Briquet. It was based on the Model 1767, but lacks the reverse langets on the stirrup guard.
