I always wanted one of these too. I think the one you have is from the Philippine Revolutionary era. It is of the same design and look they used.

Heres a pic of some slam-fire rifles from the 1896 Philippine Revolutionary era also. I took this photo, so sorry for the glare in the pic. But you can somewhat see similarities between the pistol you have and these rifle versions.
These are on display at the Aguinaldo Shrine in Imus Cavite.

The Spanish saber below is Aguinaldos most prized and favorite sword. It originally belonged to Spanish General Ernesto Aguirre who Aguinaldo defeated in the Battle of Imus on Sept 3, 1896. Aguinaldo also thought the sword special since the manufacture date on it is the same as his birthday.
