Can any of you eagle-eyed contributors help me with this or point me in the right direction. A local history group is working in a museum for gunsmiths and cutlers and we have a pistol which we are trying to attribute to a particular gunmaker and we need to know roughly the year it was made. Don't know much about pistols but we do know it is possibly early 19th century. It does not seem to have a trigger which seems odd and not sure how the firing mechanism works. See photo attached - which I am afraid is not very clear.
