It's a bit hard to see the front part of the trigger guard but it looks like the English style trade acorn but it is really thin. The ramrod pipes are also really unusual. The carving around the barrel tang looks American, New England, to me. The thumb plate is very similar to a couple in Battle Weapons of the American Revolution as is the carving. I believe it is an American-made copy of a British fusil. I believe it is shortened but I assume they also made carbines so either is possible without a better look at that muzzle to see if it is cut straight. ca 1770s-1820s.
