The photos are not very clear, but what can be seen is a modern reproduction, possibly Spanish, and not much more than, say, 50 years old, but likely newer than that. It does not appear to be an antique of any sort.

I agree with @PRD1. It's a "modern" reproduction, probably from the 1970s, probably Italian or Spanish. Definitely not a several hundred year old original. I'm sure it's a personal treasure, of course. I have a similar gun, willed to me by my grandfather, which would not bring a hundred dollars at auction but is priceless to me.
You would need to get some GOOD pictures of it for anyone to really have any idea what you have there. Reproductions have been made for longer than I have been alive and made by a LOT of places.
Just from the lock shape at the rear, plus the bridle to the pan, I was going to say Belgian, but would go for Spanish too. Now the Belgians have been making MZL'drs out of old, as in really old, original parts for 100s of years and sent 1,000s of flintlocks to African colonies where the indigenous population weren't allowed modern centerfire arms, as late as the 1950s!
I too would say its a '70s piece, if Spanish. Pull the barrel and dollars to donuts there's proof marks on there where you can't see.
