@ Fernando
yes it is a hirschfanger meant for hunting, these weapons were also worn as part of civilian dressing in the street.

@ Dmitri
This combination weapon is also from the Henk Visser Collection # HV1297.

you're right, Henry Devillers and Claude Niquet made ​​this kind of firearm construction. I know a few pistols of this type, one with a detachable barrel (thread/turn off) made by Devillers, with a similar lock/trigger mechanism.
Nevertheless as a combination weapon, only this example is known to me.

best,
