What is it?

Perhaps somebody knows the what and where about this one?

Interesting. You may want to research Khyber Pass guns.

Could be, but whats your reasoning?

That is too crude to be functional and it appears to not have a touch hole at all, my guess is a movie prop or tourist trade wall hanger.

Looks like a nonfunctional tourist gun made from locally sourced scrap typical of many Khyber Pass guns.

Another thing; It only has the top half of the barrel at the breech, the pan goes under this half barrel.

Looks like it was made in one of the "stans" ( Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan)

The trigger looks to be hanging outside of the trigger guard.

Middle east tourist trade junk.

I know this is an older thread but I wanted to give a more definitive answer to the question.
What @poker shows is tourist/display piece from Morocco. I saw a good amount being sold in the tourist areas back in 2010.

It is a copy of what I believe is called a Moukhala. Originals will usually have a Snaphaunce lock, here is an original.

Some of the new made pieces use original antique locks or barrels, even decorations, but you must really know what you are looking for.
