Fake or originally from Scotland?
 

I found these fotos and wonder if this is a real Scottish pistol?
May be there is an answer out there!:D

While I'm a little off my field here, I tend to think it is neither an original nor fake, but a vintage 'project' someone made for recreational purposes.

The lock is off a French Charleville or similar. The metal pattern stock has no logic in wood. Its a D I Y project.

Hi Corado

I tend to agree with the other two responses. A big give-away that it was made for decoration only is that there are no side lock screws. Just two flat-head wood screws mounting the lock from the outside of the lock plate.

It could also be one of those Victorian era copies, where a combination of original surplus and new made parts (for then) were utilized. I'm some what leaning in this direction.

'The shot that was heard around the world'
Given the number of Charleville pistols imported into America one wonders if this is a naive attempt to emulate the Murdoch pistol which by tradition fired the first shot in the American revolutionary war at the battle of Lexington in 1775.
