Help with musket id

[AJJELLY80]

Not too long ago I was given a smooth bore musket. The infomation I was given was that it's a Springfield 1835. After doing my own research I think it's more likely a Charleville 1777. The trigger guard and what I can make out of the cheek plate seem to fit. As you can see from the pictures the musket has been badly damaged by fire. From what I'm told it was found I a burnt out building at some point in history. The trigger guard and the ram rob holder appear to have a bit of a brass sheen in places but I'm not over sure yet. On the plate on the firing mechanism side there appears to be the remains of ornate marking and just below the plate is what looks like an 8. There is a number of making on the musket that I have no idea about and would be interested in your thoughts.

Full-length photos of both sides?
And close-ups of lock area?

If picture #3 is the tail end of the lockplate, it’s not a 1777.
You need to put up better pictures

That's the best I have at the moment, as the musket is stored at my parents at the moment. I'm away at the moment but once I get back I'll get some closer better resolution photos and some gull length of both sides

I'll get some better pictures sorted once I'm back home

It's Austrian, probably a Muster 1842 Musket. These were not produced as flintlocks, so this example is likely a percussion altered example that was sold out of service around 1870 and then converted to a flintlock in Belgium for sale in the African trade.
