Flint lock guys, what is this?

Appears to be old
No markings

It's a cap lock pistol which has seen a good bit of use. Probably carried in someone's sash or pocket. Nice find BTW...

If you remove the barrel from the frame by: 1) CAREFULLY remove the screw that holds on the hammer and remove the hammer, 2) Drift out the cross pin that secures the barrel to the stock. There may be some proof or maker's mark on the bottom of the barrel. This would be a good start to possibly identify the maker and date of manufacture.

I'll have to give that a shot
In the mean time I need to break a bad habit of calling all old BP firearms, flint lock
I actually knew it was a percussion gun but have always used flint lock as my generic descriptor.

That actually looks pretty close to the model used to assassinate Lincoln.
