Interesting little pistol which has obviously got a long history. Pity they can't talk! Needs some serious restoration but IMHO is not beyond being retrieved.

It may be in groady-toady condition but if the barrel is structurally sound with a tight breechplug and good bore (from the outside it looks in better shape than the lock) it might be fun to carve a new stock for it and put it back into service as a shooter. See if the lock throws a lot of sparks with a good flint.
