Not an East India Company Pattern musket, they were all English-made and marked and of high quality, at least as good or better quality than the Ordnance Patterns made for the British military. It appears to be an Indian-made copy for one of the smaller leaders in India. As far as value? Since it is complete and in reasonable good condition for what it is, somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 US or maybe a little more. I'm sure others will have information as well.
Just seen, was on holiday. Agree with gew8805. On British-made guns the fit of the snail to the lock plate is always well-nigh-perfect. Not so in this case. This point alone enables you to eliminate a large number of guns from those offered.
