Agree with Zim. There is a lot wrong with this. I would tend toward a Bohemian coach or holster pistol
Bohemian Holster Pistol
but there are a lot of replaced parts on this gun. The butt cap and side plate definitley have the lines and design (if it had not had the crap polished out of it) of those eastern European guns. Problem is that the screws on the side plate are all replaced. The lock is absolute junk. Plate fit is good but they did not nickle their plates. It is most likely a replacement despite the good fit.

Depending on where you live, take it to a good gun museum and have a curator take a look. If your near Carlisle I would be happy to look at it for you or have one of our other curators at AHEC take a look. The tell tale signs for this gun will be under the barrel and inside the lock mortise.

PM me if you want us to take a look.
