Most certainly a model earlier than 1812, not preventing it to have been present in that war .
The frizzen spring also missing ?
What shoks me is the difference in condition between the heavily oxidized bronze parts, the rather cleaned lockplate and the two screws which have a (much too) impecable thread .
... As if the whole set did not belong in the same family .
