Not my area but I’ll try to break the ice snd hopefully get corrected if necessary. English standard export gun 1790-1810. Maybe converted in England. If converted here it would likely have the usual drum and nipple arrangement.

Hi,
Those are post 1813 Birmingham proof marks on the barrel.  The T. Ketland & Co. lock was originally flint and dates probably to the early 1800s.  The brass mounts look to be from an inexpensive English export gun.  I suspect the gun was restocked from older parts.  The percussion conversion is rather poor because the hammer does not strike the nipple squarely.  The hammer may be a later ill fitting replacement.

As Smart Dog has noted...post 1813 English Export grade fowler. I'm reasonably certain it was converted here...T Ketland was out of business before the advent of the Percussion period and those inexpensive fowlers were made for export, not the British domestic market. It was probably 4 to 6 inches longer and full stocked originally.
