Hi,
Though I don't profess to be an expert, my best guess is what you have is a percussion dueling pistol circa 1825-1840. The sighted octagonel barrel and checkered grip seem common characteristics for such pistols.The pistol appears to be period, but I am sure some of our more knowledgeable members can add/revise my thoughts.
Happy Holidays!
