Flintlock pistol for ID

fernando · 8th January 2019, 05:52 PM

A friend of a friend acquired this pistol the other day in a local (USA) auction.
I already had the opinion of someone who gave me a general idea of what it is, but have promised to widen the query to a more vast audience, in case some of you guys are familiar with it, or have even seen any example close to it.
The hint was that it would be of French influence, perhaps a version made by a German smith ?
Thank you in advance.
