Condition is everything in evaluating a firearm of this type. What you have is one of the last Charleville Flintlocks made not in France but in Belgium and sold to Prussia, where it was proofed by that nation's armory. The firearm was produced in a former French Armory of Liege-Herstat. This musket is hardly rare and they were distributed throughout the world when the European armies switched to caplocks. Some of these were carried by the Mexican Army during the Texan War of Independence (1836) and during the Mexican War (1848). The market for them is not real hot, but they are popular among Texan collectors looking for a souvenir from Santa Ana's army and fans of the Alamo. In good condition the firearm may command 2500 to 4000 USD from a motivated buyer.
