Pistol style if early 1700s Saxon Bavarian style with nicely etched mounts and lock of mounted Tueks chasing Euopeans in bicorn hats, lovely Damascus barrel has an Islamic cartouche.

I think this is a pistol made in Austria under the influence of the siege of Vienna by the Turks. A Turkish barrel was obviously used for production. Production time around 1700-1710
