The opinion of Eduardo Nobre, author of As Armas e os Barões, a book where he dedicates a chapter to Egg Butt pistols, with an introduction to this species plus some twenty multi angle ilustrated examples, is that yours is from the transition period XVIII - XIX centuries. Obviously you are not compelled to accept such opinion .

Egg Butt pistols
I haven't had much luck searching for the term "Egg Butt" pistols. Unfortunately I can't read "As Armas e os Barões" as I only speak English
 .Can someone point me at another search term or a link? Also is there a proper term for the large decorative side plates on the handles of these pistols? |

Hello:
Although Portuguese is not my language, the phrase "butt Egg" refers butt plate, which is egg-shaped, and can be seen in the second image. Affectionately. Fernando K |
