French Percussion Black Powder Gun year ?

[Africa]

Hello all, yes this week has been a very interesting week for me, on Wednesday I heard about this old Greek man, he is in fact 70 years old, my friend told me about him, anyway he had this old Black Powder gun for sale, thus I went around to his house to have a look and he told me that it had belonged to his Grandfather and that his grandfather had used it during some Greek Turkish war, here are a few pic's of it as well, it is complete and might even still fire. I am just loooking for more info on it as well, must be from aound 1840 +-.

I paid R3 000. for this gun, what do you think the value of it is worth?
Thankyou

comment and questions are welcome.

Just to help us Yanks, R3000 = $330

The big Greco-Turkish war was 1919-1922, not to say they did not wage war before that, but if someone said Greco-Turkish war, that's the one I would think of.

Cool old gun! I would tend to agree it is French. The metal forend is typical to their rifles. It looks short. Could be a dragoon model.
