Italian flintlock pistol

I think no one disputes it's not a masterpiece :-) Anyhow, the brass furniture is quite interesting. I read somewhere (don't remember where exactly) that the Roman lock was widely used in central Italy during the 18th century although the quality of the works was quite rough. I think it fits very well to this piece.
I found a similar pistol at Christie's (sale 6345, lot 99).

Regards,
Matus
