Yeah looks like an Arab jezil flint lock musket believe it or not Sudanese tribesmen used these in great numbers at the battle of omdurman in 1898 i think it was

image that up against nice new shiny 8 shot long lee metford/enfield rifles volley firing those nasty new dum dum bullets.....

It makes you wonder why Corporal Jones still needed to use cold steel, which the enemy did not like.

Its whats known as a B S A . Bits Scraps and Allsorts 

There's been one of those in a local second hand shop window for months now

Our local one is junk compared to that one god it must have been dragged by the camel after its owner got shot at omdurman lol
