Info sought on (Afghan?) Blunderbuss?

Goodafternoon all,

My name is Jeroen, I am 47 years old, from the Netherlands and work in law enforcement.
I have allways had an interest in historic weapons but have never owned any. Untill recently that is, when this gun caught my eye at the church fleemarket where I was volunteering. First because it seems to be a functioning weapon and I was unsure if we were allowed to sell it, and second because the info I found on a quick google fascinated me.

Long story short: I bought it and brought it home, where my wife was as unenthousiastic as I was enthousiastic :-)

I tried to research it but it is hard to determine what info is valuable and what is not. I tried AI but am not convinced that the surety it displays is valid. So I registered here, where I found some fascinating threads about Jezails and all kinds of historic weapons. I hope the experts can shed some light on this piece.

The gun is 103 cm long which translates to 40,5 inches. I have carefully disassembled the lock to clean it and look fur further markings. There were none I could find. I have bought Renaissance Wax and Ballistol oil to preserve it. See the photo's for more information. Thank you in advance for your time!
