Mine are of the small type ... and humble; no makers marks.
The flint one must be English. It also has the safety catch with the pin locking the frizzen; only that its lever push/pull tip is broken ... but the mechanism still works, though.
The percussion one is Belgium, judging by the Liege proof mark. It's got some nice silver wire decoration plus a little estucheon, on the stock.
It has a turn off barrel but, as so often with specimens of this type (so i read), there is no way to unscrew it.
