It's an 1809 Prussian/Saxon smoothbore musket (note the brass priming pan) with a lockplate from the French armory at Maubeuge. That's my guess, but I'd send the pic on to a Napoleonic weapons forum and ask there. Good luck, since there tend to be a lot of nimnuls on those sites. Ask for their sources for their assertions. If they give you some good sources, they might be worth looking into. Your musket has certainly seen a lot of history, though.

My guess is some sort of French An IX. Steel lock with a Brass pan? The band springs? all look like a 1777 An IX to me. I'm no expert, but that's my educated guess.
