Really don't know much about this, other than I was told years ago it was made in England. I thought I would post it here to see if Dunstickin might have any ideas of it's origin. Hard to see, but the barrel is completly done in fine scroll work. I bought it years ago from a guy that found it while demolishing a very old building, he said he found it inside a wall. The building stood in a town that was one of the starting points for the Oklahoma Land Rush, so no telling what kind of stories this little pistol could tell. It remained hidden for around 100 years possibly, so I wish it could talk, LOL!
