Thank you for your input, Michl,
I assume you are classifying the Queen Anne concept by its Monarch reign date, but the pistol style went on to about 1780 (John W.Burgoyne, for one)

.
This example certainly contains far more details relative to a Queen Anne specimen than otherwise: the "L" shaped spring, the cannon barrel, the silver decoration style; even a sliding trigger guard to secure the cocking.
