Wow!!! What an interesting and unusual gun. Condition looks rather good also.
The sellers comments seem in line with those of Elgood, in terms of where this style was developed, but though DEVELOPED in Lahore, this one has a typical Coorg shaped butt end, which would suggest that it comes (as stated in your Post title) from South India.
I note that the lock appears to be a genuine EIC one, rather than a local copy.

Sorry for the emojis above. I am having computer problems. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a facility to delete replies alltogether.
