So my friend owns this weapon and it was passed down to her. She is thinking about getting rid of it and asked me what I know about it. This being the only gun forum I participate in, I thought I would post it up here and see if anyone has any insight into it's origin and value. She thinks it's a Chinese matchlock from the 1800s. I haven't the slightest idea what it is but it looks pretty cool. I get to play with it later, it has some sort of key with it that I am assuming is for cleaning the fuse hole. Thanks for your help.
