Yes, as you said previously it's an Ottoman blunderbuss.
I don't understand your question as you are clearly aware of this type of gun and flintlocks in general... Strange question unless you have another idea in mind... It's a beautiful piece, Ottoman. Your gun is too nice to be from the Balkans. I think it's a Turkish piece from the late 18th or early 19th c. The name on the lock is an attempt to imitate English locks, many Turkish barrels have LONDON with an inverted N.
