Dredging This Up Exotic Flintlock

The bearded face on the breech and the frizzen are what I was looking for,
definitely Balkans. They carved that same face on dagger handles and other things, looks almost like a Viking motif. Who knows, it could be. They were around there at one time.
The clothing the figures are wearing isnt Indian either, could probably identify it by browsing some ethnic dress websites. Early 19th century is probably about right.
