For those who do not understand the first time, I will explain more popular.

Moser was not in Afghanistan. But Moser was in Turkestan, where he bought these matchlocks. In those days, there were no aircraft and a matchlock from Sind and from India could only get to Turkestan through Afghanistan. It's strange to think that such matchlocks were taken from India specifically to sell to Turkestan (although it might be somehow miraculously learned that Moser travels through Turkestan and buys weapons there?

). Much more logical another explanation. These matchlocks (both from Sind and from India) were used in Afghanistan and, thanks to trade caravans, were also brought to Turkestan.

But, of course, if we are talking about a matchlock corrado26, then we can only talk about the theoretical possibility that it could be used in Afghanistan.
