Martin,

You see Belgian guns that were only intended for the South American market. Guns that are never seen in the US or Europe.
The Belgians were very aware of this market and catered to it. Please do post more pictures and educate all of us.

Here are a batch of Belgian flintlocks awaiting shipment to South America, circa 1925. Obviously meant as trade guns to native populations.
