Hi Markku,
Interesting pistol but I lean towards Fernando Ks suggestion of (not a fake) but perhaps a "put together" piece.
The hammer does not appear to strike the nipple on the flat, but appears to strike at about 45degrees, which would not be normal. This could well be because the hammer is a replacement, and the throw is wrong.
Also to me the stock shape does not seem to suit, particularly at the butt end, and the barrel tang does not fit properly.
As far as Proof, and other marks are concerned, have you had a look UNDER the barrel, which is the most likely place (though not always) for them to be.
Stu
