I thought that. A chap brought one up to the club last weekend.
The reverse butthook (cresent shaped) is useless to get in your shoulder and just slips. Its got lots of decoration and several rupees embedded in the stock. We thought turn of the century India (the bit that is now pakistan)?
I would agree, it looks like a Jezail.
The other appears to be a percussion blunderbuss, probably converted from flintlock.
Hard to value without seeing close up pictures and a condition report.
