Also the barel, althoygh not the usual type, looks "oriental made" with these inlays. I was wondering if this is an old musket that was converted to capslock, or it was made from the begining with this type of lock and barel.

Hi
You've always the best objects!
Yes this musket was converted, you can see the hole of the pan & frizen that have been removed.
The barrel is very interesting and signed.
The barrel and the stock are Turkish to me.
Best,
