I believe these pistols are Turkish/Ottoman, with European locks finished in the near east.
The trigger-guards do not look French to me, and the engraving isn't French either.
For Turkish pistols, these are very high -end. Congratulations on finding them!
Actually, going by the lock -work, they appear English locks....
Edited to correct my English lock bit!
On looking at the lock-work again, I see detachable pans. more or less unheard of in England.
