I'm guessing that the firing mechanism is matchlock .
I can see cords showing around most of the examples shown in the pictures .

It would be helpful to know the length of the barrel and the size of the bore , or opening at the end of the barrel ; interesting that there is no provision for a ramrod ; it must have been carried separately .
