I have some familiarity with 18th century flintlock pistols (while not being an expert), and I tend to agree with Corrado that the pistol is genuine Spanish and more certainly that it is not an Ottoman or N.African copy. The mark being upside down is peculiar but not totally inexplicable, and the curve of the lockplate could explain the missing end of the name.
