It is not a percussion lock, but rather is made to resemble a flintlock. The extremely short jaws of the cock and the overall crudeness of workmanship suggest that it is probably a decorative piece rather than a functioning firearm. Better photos of the lock and the pan would show whether the barrel even has a touch hole.
